School and Workshop on Random Polymers and Related TopicsMonth: May 2012 Date: May 14--25 Name: School and Workshop on Random Polymers and Related Topics Location: Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore. DescriptionThe topics to be covered in the school and workshop include, but are not restricted to: random pinning models, charged polymers, copolymer models, directed polymers with bulk disorder, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, and dynamics of polymers. The first week of the program, May 14-18, will be a school with three mini-courses. The first mini-course will be given by Frank den Hollander on some background material on probability theory and statistical physics. Two mini-courses then follow. Francesco Caravenna will give an overview of some classic random polymer models, such as the random pinning model, the copolymer model and the directed polymer model with bulk disorder. Timo Seppalainen will give an introduction to the KPZ universality class and its connection to the directed polymer model with bulk disorder, and to last passage percolation. The second week of the program, May 21-25, will be a workshop on random polymer models and related problems. Information |
