An introduction to the KPZ universality class

19/01/2026 — 23/01/2026

@ P3.10, Mathematics Building, Alameda campus, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, Portugal

This minicourse explores the heart of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. It will focus on deriving explicit formulas for the KPZ fixed point — the universal scaling limit governing fluctuations in models of random growth, directed polymers, and particle systems. The course will use a mix of probabilistic and integrable methods to uncover the fixed point’s structure and its deep connections to random matrix theory and some classical integrable equations. The lectures will begin with a broad overview, require minimal prerequisites, and welcome researchers from physics and mathematics.

Lorentzian Geometry provides the mathematical foundation for Einstein’s theory of Relativity. The Meeting is aimed to convey researches on all aspects of Lorentzian Geometry. Topics include Differential Geometry, Geometric Analysis, Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Relativity. The Meeting comprises research talks, a mini-course and a poster session, as well as a social dinner. Students and young researchers are encouraged to participate
