Connections for Women: An Introduction to Random Matrices
Sep 20, 2010 to Sep 21, 2010

Organizer(s)

Estelle Basor (American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto), Alice Guionnet* (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon), and Irina Nenciu (University of Illinois at Chicago)
To apply for funding, you must register by Sun, Jun 27 2010.
One of the aims of this workshop is to present basic notions from random matrix theory, with a particular focus on providing background material so that all participants can interact successfully with more experienced and senior researchers involved in the program. Many of the senior participants are experts in one area of random matrix theory and have less familiarity with techniques and results from other related topics. We hope this workshop will broaden the knowledge of all participants so that they migth more fully interact with all aspects of the program. In conjunction with this we plan on organizing discussion sessions in which to explore open problems and directions of research which will emerge during the week-long workshop held the preceding week.





Accommodations:
