Dear Colleagues,

This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on:

                INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS

which will be held on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January 2023
at Institut Curie and Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris,
and also on-line.

You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement
with the same informations as below which you may print and post up.

Looking forward to meeting you in Paris,

                       INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS

                     Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes

                          January 24-25, 2023

                   Institut Curie & IHP (also online)

                  11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris


    The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together
mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random
systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of
common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a
specific topic; the 2021 session is planned as follows.

Tuesday 24 January:
         POINT PROCESSES AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS.
         Moderator: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma).

Nontrivial geometrical patterns emerge in many areas of science
and technology and a  fundamental tool for their modeling  is
provided by  point processes.  Their zoology is very rich  and 
a  central role is played by the Poisson point process. The
workshop aims at presenting recent results on point processes
both of theoretical nature (analysis, geometry and probability)
and more applied ones, notably in the direction of  statistical
mechanics and material science.
There will also be a moment in memory of our friend and colleague
Francis Comets.

Speakers: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma), Antoine Gloria
(Paris & Bruxelles), Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Martin Huesmann 
(Muenster), Sabine Jansen (Muenchen), Raphael Lachieze-Rey (Paris),  Giovanni Peccati (Luxembourg).

Wednesday 25 January:
   FREE PROBABILITY, BETWEEN MATHS AND PHYSICS.
   Moderator: Jorge Kurchan (Paris)

Free probability is a flourishing field in probability theory.
It deals with non-commutative random variables where one
introduces the concept of "freeness" in analogy to
"independence"  of commuting random variables.
On the mathematical side, it has given new tools and 
a deeper insight into, amongst others, the field of random
matrices. On the physics side, it has recently appeared
naturally in the context of quantum chaos, where all its
implications have not yet been fully worked out.

Speakers: Denis Bernard (Paris), Jean-Philippe Bouchaud (Paris),
Laura Foini (Saclay), Alice Guionnet (Lyon),  Frederic Patras
(Nice), Marc Potters (Paris),  Roland Speicher (Saarbrucken).
