Deal all, I am forwarding the following exciting Summer School opportunity for young researchers (PhDs and postdocs). << Dear Colleague, Below please find the second circular on the 5th ZiF Summer School Randomness in Physics and Mathematics: From Thermalisation in Quantum systems to Random Matrices, Aug. 25 - Sept. 6, 2025, ZiF Bielefeld, Germany Please feel free to forward this to potential junior participants. The goal of this two-week event is to bring together PhD or MSc students and postdocs from various areas in mathematics, mathematical and theoretical physics. Topics include the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis, two-dimensional Coulomb gases, multiplicative chaos and deep learning, with methods coming from free probability, spin glasses, integrable systems, and statistics. The interdisciplinary lecture series will be given by Benoit Collins (Kyoto), Laszlo Erdös (Klosterneuburg), Laura Foini (Saclay), Silvio Franz (Paris), Tamara Grava (Bristol), Gaultier Lambert (Stockholm), Andrea Montanari (Standford) and Ofer Zeitouni (Rehovot), see https://indico.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/event/220/ for further details. The school will kick off the 4 month programme "The Lush World of Random Matrices" at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research ZiF, organised by Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Valentina Ros. For further information including the 3 workshops held in this period see https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/einrichtungen/zif/groups/ongoing/matrices/ May 18 2025 is the deadline for applications to participate in the 5th ZiF Summer School, see https://indico.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/event/220/page/38-registration-form For further information about the school please contact one of the organisers: akemann@physik.uni-bielefeld.de or goetze@math.uni-bielefeld.de With best regards, Gernot Akemann and Friedrich Goetze
