Connections for Women: Discrete Lattice Models in Mathematics, Physics, and ComputingMonth: August 2012 Date: August 22--24 Name: Connections for Women: Discrete Lattice Models in Mathematics, Physics, and Computing Location: Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, California. DescriptionThis 2-day workshop will bring together researchers from discrete mathematics,probability theory, theoretical computer science and statistical physics to explore topics at their interface. The focus will be on combinatorial structures, probabilistic algorithms and models that arise in the study of physical systems. This will include the study of phase transitions,probabilistic combinatorics, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, and random structures and randomized algorithms. Since discrete lattice models stand at the interface of these fields, the workshop will start with background talks in each of the following three areas: Statistical and mathematical physics; Combinatorics of lattice models; Sampling and computational issues.These talks will describe the general framework and recent developments in the field and will be followed with shorter talks highlighting recent research in the area.
