Probability

Head of the team : Pascal Maillard. Permanent members.

The team embraces various research topics in theoretical and applied probability:

  • Functional inequalities and concentration

  • Applications in biology, ecology and health

  • Random matrices, non-commutative probability, random algebraic structures

  • Discrete probabilistic models

  • Mathematical physics and applications to quantum mechanics

  • Branching processes

  • Stochastic processes and their applications


Interactions : The probability team interacts mainly with the following teams :

  • Analysis : functional inequalities, Stein's method and optimal transport

  • Partial Differential Equations : reaction-diffusion equations, Feynman-Kac method

  • Statistics and Optimization : limit theorems, analysis of stochastic algorithms, stochastic modelling.
