Workshop on Free Probability, Random Matrices, and Planar Algebras
September 17 - 21, 2007, The Fields Institute
Overview
The workshop aims at bringing together people working in or somehow related to the fields of free probability, random matrices, or planar algebras - with some emphasis on the use of diagramatic methods and with the hope of revealing deeper connections between these fields and stimulating interactions and collaborations between the various groups.
