The workshop aims at bringing together female speakers in random geometric systems, as well as further members of the SPP 2265, in order to discuss recent advances in the field and offer networking opportunities for younger researchers. In this sense, we plan to have 13 long talks by renowned speakers and further seven talks by junior speakers. The workshop starts on Wednesday morning and ends on Friday at lunchtime.
The scientific program is organized by Alice Callegaro, Diana Conache, Nina Gantert, Silke Rolles.
There is no conference fee and there are no gender restrictions on the audience, everybody is welcome to attend. In particular, all the members of SPP 2265 are invited.
The workshop is funded by the DFG priority program SPP 2265 Random Geometric System. Members of the SPP who are interested in participating in the workshop should send an email to diana.conache(at)tum.de. In case they need financial support for the participation it should be mentioned in the email. There are some funds available for this.

Abstracts
Alessandra Bianchi - Mixing cutoff for random walks on directed inhomogeneous random graphs
In this talk, we will consider a simple random walk on directed inhomogeneous random graphs and analyze its convergence to equilibrium under specific network conditions. The first part of the talk will focus on the Chung-Lu directed graph, a generalization of the Erdős–Rényi random digraph that incorporates edges independently and according to assigned Bernoulli laws. Assuming the average degree grows logarithmically with the graph size n (weakly sparse regime), we establish the occurrence of a cutoff phenomenon at the entropic time scale of order \log(n)/\log\log(n) and precisely characterize the cutoff profile within a specific window. The second part of the talk will address a variant of this graph model that includes community structure. Depending on the strength of inter-community interactions, we prove that the mixing behavior can display either a cutoff or a smooth exponential decay, with an intermediate behavior emerging in the critical regime. This is joint work with G. Passuello and M. Quattropani.
