Focused workshop on the Brownian web, the Brownian net and their geometry

The workshop aims to introduce recent results related to the Brownian web and the Brownian net and to discuss open problems in these topics. It is part the thematic semester Probability and Statistical Physics (Jan-June 2025) hosted by the Erdős Center.
