INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS

Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 January 2008 - Schedule

Amphi Darboux

Paris

The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic:


Tuesday 22 January: Stochastic Models for Evolution.

        Moderator: Sylvie Méléard (Palaiseau)

Evolutive Biology aims making sense of the hyper-diversity of life at every scale of spatial and temporal organization. The microscopic dynamics are very complex and need mathematical models, intrinsically probabilist and nonlinear. They have to take into account mutation or selection phenomena with possible migration appearing at different complexity levels. The goal of this short meeting is to introduce the main problematics of evolution and to show the diversity and the interest of the probabilistic models emerging from this field.

Preliminary list of Speakers: N. Berestycki (Cambridge), N. Champagnat (Sophia-Antipolis), P. Collet (Palaiseau), V. Limic (Marseille), H. Metz (Leiden), A. Wakolbinger (Frankfurt).

Wednesday 23 January: Ancestral Problems in Population Genetics.

        Moderator: Thierry Huillet (Cergy-Pontoise)

The theory of population genetics deals with the change in genetic composition of populations under the influence of evolutionary forces such as genetic drift, mutation, selection, recombination... Randomness is an essential ingredient in the underlying stochastic processes. Dynamics can be looked at either forward or backward in time; backward in time leads to the ancestral lines of the population.

Preliminary list of Speakers: E. Baake (Bielefeld), R. A. Blythe (Edinburgh), R.C. Griffiths, A. Lambert (Paris), M. Moehle (Dusseldorf), M. Serva (L'Aquila), D. Simon (Paris).
