Workshop: Stochastic Topology and Thermodynamic Limits
October 17, 2016 - October 21, 2016
ICERM at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.
This workshop will explore topological properties of random and quasi-random phenomena in physical systems, stochastic simulations/processes, as well as optimization algorithms. Practitioners in these fields have written a great deal of simulation code to help understand the configurations and scaling limits of both the physically observed and computational phenomena. However, mathematically rigorous theories to support the simulation results and to explain their limiting behavior are still in their infancy.
