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.

Team life

It revolves around the Probability seminar held on Tuesday mornings. Several other seminars and working groups, in which all or part of the team participates, are regularly organized, including :

• the monthly seminar Mathematics, Biology and Health, jointly organized with the Partial Differential Equation team and the Statistics and Optimization team,

• the Mathematics and Physics seminar, at the interface between the IMT and the LPT (Laboratory of Theoretical Physics).
