Equidistribution and beyond

Notions like ergodicity, mixing, equidistribution, and their connections to central and extremal limit theorems have been studied by number theorists, ergodic theorists, and probabilists — often from different angles, with little dialogue between them. This workshop aims to start that conversation.

Where three fields read the same statement differently

Ergodicity, mixing, equidistribution, and their connections to central and extremal limit theorems have been studied by number theorists, ergodic theorists, and probabilists. They have often looked at similar questions from different angles using different tools, but there has been very little dialogue between them. This workshop aims to do just that — to initiate interaction between these groups.

Although aimed at researchers, several lectures would be accessible to advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students.

Diophantine approximation

Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics.

Arithmetic statistics

Equidistribution and correlation statistics for arithmetic sequences.

Probabilistic number theory

Central and extremal limit theorems, methods of moments and cumulants, Stein's method.

Thank you to everyone who made this workshop possible

Equidistribution and Beyond ran from 7–11 September 2026 at CMI, and it was made by the people who showed up for it — our speakers, participants, and the students and staff who kept everything running behind the scenes. Thank you all for the talks, the questions, and the conversations in between.
