Discrete structures and related methods from stochastic analysis (DSSA)

Workshop (spring school) at Technion, Haifa, Israel, on 04 – 08 March 2013. Organized by Leonid Mytnik (Haifa) and Achim Klenke (Mainz). Topics · Population models and related processes (e.g., fragmentation, coalescents, measure-valued processes, random trees) · Branching random walks and Gaussian free field · Random geometric structures Focus group: Young researchers (PhD students, postdocs). There will be four mini-courses and five one-hour talks. In addition there might be the opportunity for young participants to present their work.
