70 Years of Percolation
A conference in honour of Geoffrey Grimmett's 70th birthday
23-28 July 2023
Percolation, introduced by Broadbent, Hammersley, and Morton almost 70 years ago, is a subject at the very centre of modern probability theory. Along with the 70th anniversary of percolation, this conference will also celebrate the 70th birthday of Geoffrey Grimmett, who has made many fundamental contributions to the subject, and contributed greatly to its success.
Registration is required (but free of charge). Deadline: June 31, 2023.
Organisers: Roland Bauerschmidt, Ander Holroyd, Ioan Manolescu, James Norris, Perla Sousi
