Summary

The programme centres around new themes in mathematical statistical physics. The main goal is to study random dynamics in spatially extended systems through the application of powerful probabilistic techniques -- fluctuation theory and large deviation theory. Spatially extended systems consist of a large number of components that interact locally but that may nevertheless exhibit a long-range dependence, resulting in anomalous fluctuation phenomena and phase transitions.
