This is the second announcement for the winter school Statistical Mechanics, Nonequilibrium Processes, and Probability, which will take place on February 17-28, 2025, at the Mathematics Department of Sapienza University, Rome.

We are pleased to inform you that the registration deadline for the school has been extended to December 20, 2024, and to share the link to the school’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/winterschoolsapienza/home

The school will also include short talk sessions for PhD students and early postdocs. 

Lecturers of the February school:

Week 1 (Feb 17–21):

• Kazuo Aoki (National Cheng Kung University & Kyoto University)
• Eric Carlen (Rutgers University)
• Alessia Nota (University of L'Aquila)
• Benjamin Schlein (University of Zurich)

Week 2 (Feb 24–28):

• Paul Dario (University of Paris-Est Créteil)
• Sabine Jansen (Ludwig Maximilian University)
• Eva Löcherbach (University of Paris 1)
• Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna)

The school will inaugurate the scientific Eccellenza program at Sapienza, titled Statistical Mechanics and Nonequilibrium Processes, which will conclude in July 2025. This program includes workshops, doctoral courses, and seminar series. More information about the program will be found on the following website: program.

Both the winter school and the Eccellenza program will focus on several topics, including:

• kinetic theory and probability,
• random growth models,
• percolation,
• probabilistic models for neural networks,
• quantum-mechanical transport,
• non-dissipative transport in topological materials, and
• large-scale limits.

The common thread is the rigorous mathematical investigation of equilibrium and nonequilibrium phenomena and statistical physics models. Our goal is to present current research directions at an accessible level for students and young researchers, fostering collaborative research in these areas.
