Description:
Following the ICTP-SAIFR School on Random Geometry and Random Matrices, this two-day workshop will host a series of talks on recent progress on research in random geometry and random matrices. The topics include applications to string theory and quantum gravity, statistical physics and probability theory. Participants can either choose to register for the school which automatically includes participation in the workshop or just apply for the workshop. Applicants can submit an abstract for a poster or short talk. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for local support. This event received support from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita) for the participation of Nordic scientists.
Registration deadline: August 4
