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.

Registration is required (but free of charge).  Deadline: July 31, 2022.

Organisers: Christina Goldschmidt (Oxford), Jason Miller (Cambridge), Perla Sousi (Cambridge) and Amanda Turner (Lancaster).
