This workshop will focus on various aspects of the geometry of interacting random paths. The aim is to bring together researchers specialising in random processes such as branching random walks, activated random walks, random interlacements, and other models of interacting random walks, as well as their continuous time counterparts. The workshop will explore questions and results concerning the geometry of the ranges of these processes, and further properties of their occupation time fields, for instance, their associated “thick points”. It will include two-mini courses in addition to the programme of research talks.

Classifying varieties up to birational equivalence is one of the driving forces for modern research in algebraic geometry. Some of the greatest results in 20th and 21st Century algebraic geometry lie in birational geometry, with both Mori and Birkar awarded the Fields medal for their work in this area. Birational geometry has seen some very healthy and surprising interactions with number theory over the last decade.

Recent developments suggest that there is much to be gained at the interface between number theory and birational geometry, and this workshop will be one of the first attempts in the form of an international meeting to explore these interactions.

Equivariant techniques have played a critical role in the proofs of several major results and developments in algebraic topology over the past decade. Examples include the solution of the famous Kervaire invariant one problem, computations of previously inaccessible homotopy groups of spheres based on the motivic Adams spectral sequence, and the new equivariant approach to THH, TC, and algebraic K- theory. The programme will unite experts and young researchers who apply homotopic methods in algebra (operads), algebraic topology, and algebraic geometry (motivic homotopy theory) around the common theme of equivariant methods. Though these methods have already led to significant breakthroughs, their potential is clearly far from exhausted. We foresee that this programme will incite further developments and greater synergies between equivariant homotopy theory and the themes of the programme centred around three workshops: "Operads and calculus", "Chromatic and motivic homotopy theory" and "THH, TC and algebraic K- theory".
