Probability in complex physical systems in honour of Erwin Bolthausen and Jürgen Gärtner /

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...
