Brownian paths and Representation theory
Prof. Philippe Bougerol
(Paris)
Abstract
Counting paths, or walks, is an important ingredient in the classical representation theory of compact groups. Using Brownian paths gives a new flexible and intuitive approach, which allows to extend some of this theory to the non- cristallographic case. This is joint work with P. Biane and N. O'Connell
