Description: Random Matrix Theory has developed into a central area of mathematical physics, with deep and longstanding connections to probability, analysis, number theory, statistical mechanics, quantum chaos, and related areas of theoretical physics. This workshop brings together leading researchers and emerging scholars from mathematics and physics to present and discuss recent advances and open problems in random matrix theory and closely related fields. The programme consists of invited lectures by internationally recognised experts, covering a broad range of topics, including non-Hermitian random matrices, log-gases and Coulomb systems, integrable systems and integrable probability, spectral statistics, and applications in mathematical physics and related areas.
