Probabilistic approaches have played a prominent role in the study of complex physical systems for more than thirty years. This volume collects twenty articles on various topics in this field, including self-interacting random walks and polymer models in random and non-random environments, branching processes, Parisi formulas and metastability in spin glasses, and hydrodynamic limits for gradient Gibbs models. The majority of these articles contain original results at the forefront of contemporary research; some of them include review aspects and summarize the state-of-the-art on topical...

Der Berliner Mathematiker Karl Weierstrass (1815-1897) lieferte grundlegende Beitrage zu den mathematischen Fachgebieten der Funktionentheorie, Algebra und Variationsrechnung. Er gilt weltweit als Begrunder der mathematisch strengen Beweisfuhrung in der Analysis. Mit seinem Namen verbunden ist zum Beispiel die beruhmte Epsilon-Delta-Definition des Begriffs der Stetigkeit reeller Funktionen. Weierstrass Vorlesungszyklus zur Analysis in Berlin wurde weithin geruhmt und er lehrte teilweise vor 250 Horern aus ganz Europa; diese starke mathematische Schule pragt bis heute die Mathematik....
