Universality and Integrability in Random Matrix Theory and Interacting Particle Systems

The past decade has seen tremendous progress in understanding the behavior of large random matrices and interacting particle systems. Complementary methods have emerged to prove universality of these behaviors, as well as to probe their precise nature using integrable, or exactly solvable models. This program seeks to reinforce and expand the fruitful interaction at the interface of these areas, as well as to showcase some of the important developments and applications of the past decade.

Professor Alice Guionnet (ENS Lyon) and Professor Herbert Spohn (TU München) have been appointed as Clay Senior Scholars to participate in this program.
