Dear All,
we have a session on opinion dynamics tomorrow, namely talks by Elchanan Mossel and Timo Vilkas, see below. Remember that we start 14:00 UTC which is 16:00 CET!
14:00-15:00 Elchanan Mossel Opinion Exchange Dynamics
I will survey some of the main opinion exchange dynamics models that were invented in probability theory and in economics.
I will then discuss ``martingale models" - models where the opinion of each agent forms a martingale.
I will highlight some recent large-deviation and graph-limit perspectives of these models.

15:00 - 16:00 UTC Timo Vilkas Long-term behavior in opinion dynamics: clustering vs. consensus and local vs. global
Using the examples of the well-known voter model (Holley & Liggett, 1975) and a lesser-known bounded confidence model. introduced by Deffuant et al. (2000), I want to discuss common limit behavior in interacting particle systems modelling opinion dynamics. Both the transition from clustering to consensus formation and the dichotomy between weak (local) and strong (global) consensus will play a central role.
