This workshop will take James' work as a jumping-off point for an exploration of future research directions in probability. There will be 16 invited talks loosely covering the following themes:
- Random growth processes and SPDEs
- Yang-Mills measure
- Limits of random graphs, random planar maps, and fragmentation processes
- Markov chains, interacting particle systems and fluid limits
- Diffusion processes and heat kernels.
