Inn'formal Probability Seminar
This seminar is organized by Ulrik Hansen, Ecaterina Sava-Huss and Alexander Glazman.
The idea is to discuss recent exciting research developments in the field of Probability (in a broad sense). Some talks are given by speakers invited from other universities but this is also a place for everybody in Innsbruck to share with each other their recent results - or just something cool that we have read. The seminar is very informal and there is always a lot of discussions during the talks (so they tend to last a little longer…).
Each talk will start by an introductory part (~30min), where the speakers will explain some basic concept in their research and the motivation behind.
Please write to Ulrik (ulrik.hansen@uibk.ac.at) if you want to be on the mailing list.
Speakers Summer term 2026
Time and place: Tuesdays 15:30-17:00, SR 7th floor (Technikerstrasse). Sometimes, the probability seminar will be replaced by the monthly mathematical colloquium, which is dedicated to a broader audience. The colloquium takes place Wednesdays at 15:30.
