1. Scope

Recent progress in probability theory is enormous and widespread in various subjects such as potential theory, cutoff phenomena in Markov chains, critical behavior and scaling limits in statistical-mechanical models. It is getting more difficult to know them all and choose a topic for deeper study. Therefore, it would be wonderful if we could have specialists and ask for lectures from basics to forefront knowledge. We are aiming to achieve this goal in a single day!

We invite eight researchers (including two graduate students) and ask them to spend a half of the talk on the very basics, so the audience can follow it relatively easily, even if they are not familiar to the subject.

This workshop is supported by the JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research 15K13440.
