Spatial Random Processes and Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The workshop focused on the broad area of spatial random processes and their connection to statistical mechanics. The subjects of interest included random walk in random environment, interacting random walks, polymer models, random fields and spin systems, dynamical problems, metastability as well as problems involving two-dimensional conformal geometry. The workshop brought together many leading researchers in these fields who reported to each other on their recent achievements and exchanged ideas for new problems and potential solutions.
