Free probability, introduced by Dan Voiculescu, is a highly noncommutative probability theory based on free independence which takes the place of classical independence. It is an extremely rich theory and has been very successful in its almost 40 years development with deep applications to other fields of mathematics and sciences. It has became an essential tool for researchers working on operator algebras, random matrix theory and related areas.
The summer school will bring together leading experts, young researchers, and students working in free probability, operator algebras, random matrices, and related fields with the aim of fostering new communications and collaborations. The program of the summer school will consists of four mini-courses together with research talks, and will introduce topics in free probability and random matrix theory to a diverse audience.
