Random Geometry and Topology and Related Topics

Random Geometry and Topology
and Related Topics

29 September - 1 October 2025

Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University

This RIMS workshop focuses on random geometrical and topological objects. Motivated by problems in statistical physics and data science, such objects have been researched extensively in recent years, with important examples including random maps, Brownian surfaces, Liouville quantum gravity and random simplicial complexes. In addition to understanding the structures themselves, there is often an interest in studying associated stochastic processes. We hope the event will inspire lively discussion in these and related areas.

Registration

Registration information will appear here. Note that all talks will be given in person, but will also be broadcast online.

Access

All talks will take place in room 111 of RIMS. Access information for RIMS appears here.

Accommodation

There are not many hotels especially close to Kyoto University, but there are plenty in the more central areas of the city, from which it is easy to commute by bus. (See here for a city bus map.) In particular, if you book a hotel within (or close to) the region contained within the streets Marutamachi - Kawaramachi - Shijo - Karasuma (in the north, east, south, west, respectively), then there will be no problem in accessing the University. Concerning booking, probably the easiest is to use a general hotel booking website (such as booking.com or expedia, etc), but if you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the local organising committee.

Further Information

Those participating in a research activity at RIMS are asked to read its Code of Conduct carefully and understand how this applies to them. (Japanese version.)

Please see this page for information about RIMS' response to the novel coronavirus. (Japanese version.)

It is possible to arrange a temporary nursery place on campus during the research meeting for the use of researchers with children. For details, please contact one of the local organisers or the Cooperative Research Service Section at RIMS. [Note that, in order to make arrangements in time, you will need to request a space at least one month prior to the event.]
