Équipe de probabilités

Probability theory is the mathematical theory that formalizes randomness. As such, it plays a role in many phenomena of everyday life: spread of epidemics, structure of large networks (biological, computer, social, ...) , thermodynamics, and so on. These models are often motivated by questions in physics, computer science and biology, and provide a fascinating playground for researchers in mathematics. There is also a close and fruitful interplay between probability theory and the other branches of pure and applied mathematics.

Seminars and recurring events

The probability seminar is co-organised by UMPA and Institut Camille Jordan.

The séminaire Hypatie is co-organised by Lyon, Marseille and Grenoble, and is held three times a year.

A scientific meeting of one day between the probability groups in Lyon-Genève-Grenoble is held anually.
