Following the summer schools in Mathematical Statistical Physics organised in Les Houches in 1984 and 2005, we are offering a new edition that will present the advances made over the last twenty years. Among the topics covered: random geometry, disordered systems, graph theory, all fields recently crowned by several Fields Medals and Nobel Prizes.

The Doctoral Training School is primarily intended for doctoral and master students, post-docs and other younger researchers willing to learn these topics, but applications from more experienced researchers will also be considered.

Non-invited participants are expected to stay on the whole duration of the Doctoral School (10-21 May 2027). Non-permanent researchers should send us a CV, a motivation letter and/or a recommendation letter. The final list of accepted participants will be announced on January 15.

 

6 lectures of 5 hours (each lecture is split in four 1h20 sessions of teaching/exercises).

15 invited talks (1h, questions included).
