Schaposnik, and Vivek Shende Dates: June 13 – 17, 2016 The aim of this workshop is to connect recent developments and open questions in the study of branes in the moduli space of Higgs bundles with other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics: differential and algebraic … Read more
Organized by Martin Hairer Stochastic partial differential equations allow to describe phenomena that vary in both space and time and are subject to random influences. They arise naturally in a variety of contexts, including the description of the large-scale behaviour of random systems in statistical mechanics, the modelling of forward interest rates, the description of … Read more
