5. ZiF Summer School Randomness in Physics and Mathematics
From Thermalisation in Quantum Systems to Random Matrices
Date: August 25 to September 6, 2025
Venue: ZiF / Bielefeld University
Homepage: https://indico.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/event/220/
This international Summer School is building on four previous ZiF Summer Schools, bringing together international PhD students and young postdocs from various areas in mathematics, mathematical and theoretical physics. The participants will take part in 2 intense weeks of 8 interdisciplinary lecture series. They will be presented by 8 distinguished scientists. The school will include exercise sessions led by the lecturers and offers the opportunity for all participants to present their own work in short contributions. The topics covered will include the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis, two-dimensional Coulomb gases, multiplicative chaos, log-correlated fields, neural networks and deep learning amongst others. Examples for the advanced mathematical and theoretical physics inspired methods are coming from free probability, spin glasses, integrable systems, stochastic analysis and statistics. The four previous events at ZiF in 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022 were rather successful.
This year’s edition will be the starting point of the four-month programme “The Lush World of Random Matrices” at the Centre for interdisciplinary Research ZiF, organised by Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Valentina Ros.
In addition to accommodation and subsistence for all participants, we can offer a fixed number of stipends providing travel support. We particularly welcome applications by female participants.
Applications to participate and for travel support are welcome and should be directed to fakkaya@physik.uni-bielefeld.de using the registration form, including a short CV and a letter of recommendation. There will be a participation fee of 50 Euro.
Deadline for application is 18th of May 2025.

XIX Brunel-Bielefeld Workshop
- Random Matrix Theory and Applications -
Date: Monday, 18 December - Tuesday, 19 December 2023
Venue: ZiF / Bielefeld University
Homepage: https://indico.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/event/71/
We kindly invite you to participate in the XIX Brunel-Bielefeld Workshop!
This workshop marks the continuation of an annual series that began in 2005 at Brunel University in London. Since 2011, it has been alternating between Bielefeld and Brunel.
Random matrices serve as a powerful tool for the statistical analysis of spectral data in various fields, such as physics, mathematics, and beyond. This year's event will explore several applications, including fundamental properties in quantum systems, neural networks, high-dimensional random landscapes, as well as more traditional applications in statistical physics and Coulomb gases.
Deadline for requesting participation is 31 October 2023.
Organisers:
Gernot Akemann, Igor Krasovsky, Dmiry Savin and Igor Smolyarenko

Vortrag
Datum: 15.02.23 - Uhrzeit: 18:00
Vortragender: Dr. Matthias Schmidt-Rubart
Thema: Dunkle Materie und Dunkle Energie. Woraus besteht das Universum?
Ort: Kunsthalle Bielefeld
Eintritt: 5 Euro
Unser Universum besteht zu einem Großteil aus Dunkler Materie und Dunkler Energie, zwei Phänomenen, die wir nicht sehen und bisher auch nicht verstehen können. Der Bielefelder Kosmologe Matthias Schmidt-Rubart erklärt in seinem Vortrag allgemein verständlich, was sich hinter diesen rätselhaften Begriffen verbirgt, warum die Wissenschaft überhaupt zu dem Schluss kommt, dass es Dunkle Materie und Dunkle Energie gibt, und was das Ganze mit einer köchelnden Suppe zu tun hat.
