July 22, 2024 - August 2, 2024
WELCOME TO CPSS 2024! Organized by the Dynamics, Probability and PDE's in Pure and Applied Research Training Group. Planning for the 2024 CPSS is underway, and information will be posted as it becomes available.
Main Lecture Speakers:
Antonio Auffinger, Northwestern University
Title: Mathematical Spin Glass Theory
The study of spin glass models has led to a far-reaching and beautiful physical theory whose techniques have been applied to a large collection of problems in theoretical computer science, statistics, optimization and biology. Many of the physical predictions can be formulated as purely mathematical questions, often extremely hard, about large random systems in high dimensions. In recent decades, a new and exciting area of research has emerged in probability theory around these problems. The aim of the summer school is to introduce students to landmark results on the mathematics of spin glasses and explain some of the main open problems in this gorgeous field.
Hao Shen, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Title: Stochastic PDEs from quantum field theory
In this lecture series we will explain the basic ideas of the “stochastic quantization” program, in particular using stochastic differential equations to study Euclidean quantum field theory. We will focus on the Phi^4 model, including its construction and proof of certain properties. If time permits, we will also briefly discuss some gauge theory models.
Tianyi Zheng, University of California, San Diego
Title: Random Walks on Random Coset Spaces
Processes on unimodular, more generally stationary, random networks have been investigated from many different perspectives in the last decades. In this mini-course, we will focus on random walks on coset spaces of random subgroups. Basic notions such as random walk entropy, Poisson-Furstenberg entropy and related ergodic theory will be introduced, then illustrated on some examples of random walks on random cosets. Applications to some geometric problems and to Furstenberg entropy realization problems will be surveyed.

Registration deadline: July 1, 2024
Funding request deadline: April 15, 2024
Funding notifications will be sent the week of May 6th, 2024.
Housing: Dorms are reserved for housing during your stay and will require registration through the Cornell Conference and Event Services portal, which is separate from the CPSS Department Registration. Housing information and a link to the housing registration is included in the CPSS Department Registration when you answer "Yes" to the housing question.
Accommodations: A section for accommodations is included in the Math Department Registration, but you are welcome to directly contact the Events Coordinator, Heather Peterson at hko1@cornell.edu.
Keep up-to-date on Cornell Covid information and information for visitors by going to Cornell Covid Information and Cornell Covid Visitor Information.
CPSS Organizers:
The scientific organizers are Laurent Saloff-Coste, Phil Sosoe, and Lionel Levine.
If you have any questions or concerns or questions regarding accommodations or mobility, please send an e-mail to cpss_math@cornell.edu. You can also notify us of any concerns during your registration.
Scam notices and warnings:
We will never ask for credit card information over the phone or by e-mail, and all payments are processed by a secure link to Cornell Business Services. If you have any questions regarding this please contact any of the organizers or the event conference coordinator.
Many conferences have been targeted by scammers who claim to be booking accommodation representatives, but in are seeking to obtain credit card or banking information fraudulently.
