Thanks!

We wish to thank all the participants for making the meeting so successful, and the speakers for their wonderful presentations. Some pictures from the three talks can be found here.

Announcement

Following the success of the first four AProC meetings [1,2,3,4], we are again organizing this year’s one-day event, centered around three top-quality talks in probability and its interface with other active areas of current research activity. The main aim is to bring together all near-Athens-based researchers in probability and related areas of mathematics and applications.

All interested faculty, post-docs and students are welcome and are encouraged to attend

The talks are intended for a general (math/stat) audience and will be accessible to students without particular expertise in the specific areas of the topics discussed. Also, there will be ample time for free interaction and discussion between the participants.

A related event of possible interest is the summer school on Techniques in Random Discrete Structures, which will also take place at the University of Athens the following week.

Schedule

All talks will take place in room AMΦ24, on the 2^nd floor of the Mathematics Dept building on the University of Athens campus [map]. A collection of campus maps together with information on how to get there can be found here.

On Saturday, May 20, 2017

11:10-12:10	Fabio Martinelli (U of Roma Tre)	Bootstrap Percolation and Interacting Particle Systems with Kinetic Constraints [slides]
12:10-13:00	coffee break	coffee break
13:00-14:00	Takis Konstantopoulos (Uppsala U)	Finite and Infinite Exchangeability [slides]
14:00-15:30	lunch	Lunch
15:30-16:30	Charilaos Efthymiou (Goethe U, Frankfurt)	Convergence of MCMC and Loopy Belief Propagation in the Tree Uniqueness Region for the Hard-Core Model [slides]

After the last talk, there will be another coffee break to wrap up, get yet another chance to chat and say goodbye.

Arrangements for coffee and refreshments will be made locally by the organizers. Lunch will be provided at the University Cafeteria, at a cost of 3.00 euro per person.
