For info: the Part 1 will take place in Lipschitz Saal at Uni Bonn (Endenicher Allee 60), Monday 11th June, 14h00-15h45.
A connection between branching structures and characteristic polynomials of random matrices emerged in the past few years. We will illustrate this for two models of random matrices, corresponding to dimension 1 and 2 spectra: the Circular Unitary Ensemble and Ginibre random matrices. The discussed topics will include the second moment method, extrema, the Gaussian free field and Gaussian multiplicative chaos.
