Large Fluctuations in Non-Equilibrium Systems

While the exploration of many-body systems far from equilibrium has achieved important recent progress, many profound physical properties of non-equilibrium systems are still far from being understood. This seminar brings together three communities working on closely connected advanced topics relating to collective behaviour in many-body systems: large fluctuations far from equilibrium, slow relaxation in non-equilibrium processes and extreme events in stochastic many-body systems, especially in systems of higher complexity. The envisaged interaction between these fields of research is expected to lead to progress through cross-fertilisation and to open up new directions of research.
