Description
The purpose of this workshop is to build on the successful Spring 1999 MSRI Semester Program: Random Matrix Models and Their Applications. Since the 1999 program many developments continue in random matrix theory and its applications to combinatorics, growth processes, number theory, queueing theory, representation theory, and statistics. This workshop will focus on the current directions of random matrix theory and its many applications. Invited Speakers: Mark Adler (Brandeis University) Ji... nho Baik (Princeton University) Estelle Basor (California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo) Pavel Bleher (IUPUI) Albrecht Boettcher (Chemnitz University of Technology) Alexei Borodin (Clay Mathematics Institute) Anne Boutet de Monvel (Université de Paris 7 (Diderot)) Yang Chen (Imperial College, London) Percy Deift (New York University, Courant Institute) Persi Diaconis (Stanford University) Freeman Dyson (Institute for Advanced Study) Janko Gravner (University of California, Davis) Alice Guionnet (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon) John Harnad (Université de Montreal and Concordia University) Alexander Its (IUPUI) Kurt Johansson (KTH - Kungl Tekniska Högskolan) Iain Johnstone (Stanford University) Ken McLaughlin (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) Motohico Mulase (University of California, Davis) Andrei Okounkov (University of California, Berkeley/Princeton University) Eric Rains (AT&T Laboratories) Alexander Soshnikov (University of California, Davis) Pierre van Moerbeke (Université Catholique de Louvain) Dan-Virgil Voiculescu (University of California, Berkeley) This workshop is held on the occasion of the seventieth birthday of Harold Widom. There will be a banquet on the evening of September 23 to celebrate this event.               Show more

Giving Tuesday 2018

November 27

When Shakespeare learned to spell
he didn’t ask whether it would someday lead to “King Lear.”

When Kepler learned to count
he didn’t ask whether it would explain the planets.

When Michelangelo learned to draw
no one said, “That doesn’t look like the Sistine Chapel.”

When Noether learned to multiply, no one said,
“What about primary decomposition?”

We begin because we begin.
We begin because we see a possibility.

For one day a year, nurture possibility
We are MSRI. The capital of mathematical possibility
Donate to MSRI today, Giving Tuesday. Help the possibility be realized.
