Discrete and Continuous Random Trees (26w5577)

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) will host the "Discrete and Continuous Random Trees" workshop in Oaxaca, from October 4 to October 9, 2026.

Tree-like mathematical structures play a central role in several fields of mathematics, with applications ranging from phylogenetic trees and social networks to algorithms in computer science. The versatility of mathematical trees lies in their ability to encode hierarchical relationships and the tractability of their analysis. In the modelling of complex phenomena, random trees naturally emerge, allowing for both discrete and continuous formulations. These two approaches offer a rich interplay of ideas and techniques.

This workshop will bring together experts and young researchers. The workshop’s primary goal is to tackle open problems during the meeting, fostering new collaborations, strengthening ties within the mathematical community, and paving the way for new research directions.

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) in Mexico, and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) in Banff, are collaborative Canada-US-Mexico ventures that provide an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station in Banff is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta Technology and Innovation. The research station in Oaxaca is funded by UNAM and IIMAS.
