Orthogonal Polynomials in Probability Theory Abstracts Mini-courses

In this series of talks I will survey some of the basic notions, ideas, and results from free probability theory; with special emphasis on the occurrence of various orthogonal polynomials in that context. One main focus will be free stochastic analysis and the corresponding chaos decomposition of free Brownian motion. Also second order freeness and the diagonalization of fluctuations of random ...

One of the fundamental problems in neuroscience today is to understand how the activation of large populations of neurons give rise to the higher order functions of the brain including learning, memory, cognition, perception, action and ultimately conscious awareness. Electrophysiological recordings in behaving animals over the past forty years have revealed considerable information about what ...

THEMATIC SCHOOL ON MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY, PARTICLE SYSTEMS AND REACTION-DIFFUSION: TITLES AND ABSTRACTS Mini-courses

From joint works with N. Berestycki and J. Schweinsberg. We consider branching Brownian motion on the real line with absorption at zero, in which particles move according to independent Brownian motions with the critical drift of 2/2. Kesten (1978) showed that almost surely this process eventually dies out. I will present results concerning the behavior of the process before the extinction time...
