Random walks on graphs and potential theory
Warwick, 18-22 May 2015
Organiser: Agelos Georgakopoulos
Co-organiser: David Croydon
Random walks on graphs are studied in many contexts, including analysis, computer science, group theory, and of course probability and graph theory. This meeting will gather experts from all these fields, in order to emphasise the breadth of the topic and facilitate interactions.
Invited speakers:

Márton Balázs (Bristol)
Johannes Carmesin (Hamburg/Cambridge)
Ronen Eldan (University of Washington)
Ori Gurel-Gurevich (Hebrew University, Jerusalem)
Antoine Gournay (Neuchatel)
Ben Hambly (Oxford)
Vadim Kaimanovich (University of Ottawa)
Daniel Lenz (Jena)
