Workshop

The Topological Phase Transition and Localization of Random Fields, organized by the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at the University of Chile, will take place from December 1 to 12, 2025. The objective is to present the latest results concerning spin systems with continuous symmetry, in particular the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition and its relation to the behavior of integer-valued fields.

Both weeks of the conference will take place in Santiago at CMM.
