Brownian motion and random matrices December 14 to December 18, 2009 American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, CA Organizers: Peter Forrester, Brian Rider, and Balint Virag Description: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to beta-generalizations of the classical ensembles in random matrix theory. These are certain tridiagonal and unitary Hessenberg matrices, with an eigenvalue p.d.f. generalizing that of Gaussian Hermitian matrices and Haar distributed unitary matrices. Deadline: August 14, 2009 Details: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/brownianrmt.html
