Focus of the workshop
Persistence probabilities deal with the asymptotic behavior of certain first-passage time distributions. Interesting from the sole mathematical viewpoint, these studies also have many applications in theoretical physics and implications for related questions. Recent advances especially for some non-Markovian processes but also for classical exit problems shall be discussed at this workshop. A further focus is to bring togeher probabilists and physicists working on persistence-type questions, discussing methods as well as new open problems. Related questions are studied under the term 'gap probabilities' for random polynomials and random matrices. A goal of the workshop is to clarify the connection to persistence probabilities and to bring together the different communities. Finally, results that are related to processes conditioned to have long excursions or applications of those are also part of the conference. Further applications of persistence-like questions or fluctuation theory are very welcome.
