The
goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers whose interest
lies at the intersection of disordered statistical mechanics and random
graph theory, with a clear emphasis on applications. The
multidisciplinary nature of the proposed topics will be attracting
research groups with different background and will thus ensure an
exchange of ideas with cross-fertilisation.
>> As an example, we mention two directions on which we would like to focus during the workshop:
-
The first example has its origin in the many fundamental issues that are still open in the theory of spin glasses
-
The second example concerns the application of ideas and methods from statistical mechanics to the social sciences
