• 20 février : On dense orbits in the Kechris spaces of pmp equivalence relations II (François Le Maître). Voici les notes de l'exposé (en français), l'enregistrement ainsi que l'abstract.
  The space of subequivalence relations, or Kechris space, of a given non-singular equivalence relation can be endowed with a natural Polish topology whose study was initiated by Kechris. He rose the following natural question: when is the action of the full group (or the automorphism group) of a given ergodic non-singular equivalence relation on its Kechris space topologically transitive? When does this action have meager orbits? I will explain why the full group of the ergodic hyperfinite pmp equivalence relation acts topologically transitively with meager orbits on its Kechris space, and discuss the many remaining questions.

• 30 janvier : Some (more) ergodic properties of Poisson boundaries and applications II (Corentin Le Bars). Voici les notes de l'exposé (en français), l'enregistrement ainsi que l'abstract.
  Poisson boundaries represent the asymptotic significant behaviour of a stochastic process on a group. I will present some of their strong ergodic properties, and show that they naturally appear in some superrigidity problems in higher rank. This will be a sort of continuation of Antoine Derimay's talks, but I will introduce all the concepts.

• 3 octobre : Random walks and Poisson boundaries in ergodic theory I (Antoine Derimay). Voici l'enregistrement, les notes ainsi que l'abstract.
  To a random walk on a group, one can associate a measured space on which the group acts by measure-class preserving automorphisms, called the Poisson boundary of the walk. This action is the equality case of entropy inequalities, and it satisfies strong ergodic properties and is amenable, which makes it a boundary in the sense of Bader-Furman. As such, a good understanding of this action can lead to various interesting rigidity results.

• 14 novembre : The Poisson point process from scratch I (Sam Mellick) Voici l'enregistrement, des notes détaillées ainsi que l'abstract.

  The Poisson point process is a fundamental object from stochastic geometry, with many real world applications. I will present this object from the ergodic theoretic perspective, and show in full detail how it is constructed, as well as prove many of its basic properties. Some probability theory knowledge will be assumed (but only a first undergrad probability course, and I will remind everyone of the key tools needed as they come up).

  Whilst there is no particular guiding goal theorem, one should note that the Poisson point process has played an integral role in recent breakthroughs for proving fixed price one for higher rank semisimple Lie groups and products of groups, and this hopefully serves as sufficient motivation.
