This event aims to foster collaboration between mathematicians and physicists. The focus will be on the intersection of combinatorial geometry and fundamental physics, covering...

Are there infintely many quadratic characters (for instance, the Legendre symbol mod p) for which the partial sums are always non-negative? Although only 0% of characters can have this property, numerical work (most recently by Kalmynin) suggests...

The outer automorphism group of the free group Out(F_r) acts as the isometry group on the deformation space of weighted graphs, Culler-Vogtmann Outer space CV_r. The train track theory of Bestvina-Feighn-Handel bridges studying topological...

A random walk on a hyperbolic group G will converge almost surely to the boundary, defining a stationary measure at infinity. When G is a cocompact fuchsian group, this boundary is the circle, and when the random walk is finitely supported it is...
