Conference
Modern perspectives of branching in probability

September 26th - September 29th, 2017

Münster, Germany

Synopsis

Branching random structures have been an active field in probability over the past years. On the one hand, new techniques have led to the solution of various open problems for classical branching processes. On the other hand, branching random structures appear as central objects in the understanding of complex networks, disordered systems, population dynamics and random recursive structures.

The conference will bring together researchers that are playing an active role in the above developments and will focus on three topics:

  • Complex networks
  • Random recursive structures
  • Statistical mechanics

The aim is to provide an opportunity of exchange between the different groups and to attract young researchers to the field. For the latter group, a limited amount of funding is available to reimburse their expenses.

Venue

The workshop takes place in a seminar center next to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science in Münster which is located at (Google Maps):

Einsteinstrasse 62
48149 Münster
Germany

The address of the seminar center itself is Orleansring 12, but the building is not yet visible on many maps since it is new. The conference takes place in room SRZ 19 on the ground floor.
