CNRS-PAN Mathematics Summer Institute, Cracow 1 - 7 July, 2013

In collaboration with the Faculty of Applied Mathematics, AGH University of Science and Technology, Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences, CNRS, Imperial College London, IMP Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse, Warsaw Center of Mathematical Sciences, and ANR project STAB.

Organized by: Dominique Bakry (Toulouse), Szymon Peszat (Cracow), and Bogusław Zegarliński (London).

The meeting will review recent results in the area of discrete and continuous probability/stochastics intertwined with related problems and methods of mathematical analysis. Besides a number of presentation by international participants, the meeting will include two 6 hrs mini-courses (suitable for PhD students and young researchers).

The venue is the Faculty of Applied Mathematics AGH University of Science and Technology, Al. Mickiewicza 30, connector A3-A4, room 304 for morning sessions and room 103 for afternoon sesions, see: the localization in the campus.

Minicourses:

• Charles Bordenave (Toulouse): Spectrum of random graphs
  Abstract: Following Benjamini/Schramm and Aldous/Lyons, we will introduce the unimodular and sofic graphs which are the natural limits of finite graph sequences with uniformly bounded degrees. For these graphs, we will define a proper notion of spectrum and study its properties. We will put the emphasis on the study of the regularity of the spectrum. Our main examples will be the spectral measure of supercritical percolation on the square grid and on the hypercube and of Erdos-Renyi graphs. If time allows, we will also discuss some connections with random matrices.
