Luminy conference on random matrices
October 30 - November 3, 2006
Organizers: A. Kuijlaars and M. Ledoux
Theme of Conference
Random matrix theory has its origins in the 1920s in the works of Wishart in mathematical statistics and in the 1950s in the works of Wigner, Dyson and Mehta on the spectra of highly excited nuclei. Since then the subject has developed fast and has found applications in many branches of mathematics and physics, ranging from quantum field theory to statistical mechanics, integrable systems, number theory, statistics, and probability. The workshop intends to cover the recent advances in random matrix theory, with an emphasis on the probabilistic aspects.
Location and Cost
The conference will take place at the Centre International de Recherches Mathématiques (CIRM), Luminy, France. Accommodation and meals are provided for the participants for this period, at no cost. We are unable to provide any funding for travel.
