Dear all,
We are pleased to announce Walk Spin Loop Field, an upcoming workshop on probability and mathematical physics, to be held from May 19–23, 2025 at the Bernoulli Center, EPFL. This workshop aims to explore the rich and evolving interplay between probability theory and mathematical physics, with a focus on models and ideas motivated by field theory, self-interacting processes, and supersymmetry.
Two minicourses anchor the event:
- Martin Zirnbauer (University of Cologne)
The Chalker-Coddington network model of the integer quantum Hall transition - Christophe Sabot (Lyon 1) & Pierre Tarrès (NYU Shanghai)
Reinforcement, supersymmetry, and isomorphism theorems
- Titus Lupu (Sorbonne University) — 2D Brownian loop soups, conformally invariant fields and height gap
- Silke Rolles (TUM)— The vertex-reinforced jump processes and a non-linear supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model with long-range interactions
- Lorenzo Taggi (Sapienza University of Rome)— The Monomer Double-Dimer Model through complex spins
- Xiaolin Zeng (University of Strasbourg) — Phase transitions of H^2|2-model on Dyson hierarchical lattice and on Z with decaying potential
- Quirin Vogel (University of Klagenfurt) — The variational principle for the interacting Bose gas
- Franz Merkl (University of Munich) — Restrictions of vertex-reinforced jump processes to subgraphs
- Peter Wildemann (University of Geneva)— Schwarzian Field Theory for Probabilists
- Nick Crawford (Technion) — Random forests and the renormalization group
- Francesco Maria Guadagnuolo (EPFL) — Random walk renormalization and weakly conformal symmetries in complex networks
- Sebastien Ott (EPFL) — Crossing walks ensembles, height functions and wetting in lattice spin models
