Workshop organized by: R. Burioni, R. Metzler and V. Sposini
Driven by a rapidly increasing number of experiments and high-performance computing studies across diverse fields reporting clear deviations from Gaussian statistics of displacements in single-tracer tracking, there has been growing attention to the modelling of such non-Gaussian processes.
Many studies have focused on developing stochastic models capable of reproducing non-Gaussian dynamics and on clarifying the physical consequences of non-Gaussian tails for transport phenomena.
This special session focuses on fundamental and theoretical aspects of stochastic dynamics beyond Gaussianity, bringing together researchers working on analytical and conceptual approaches. Topics include the theory of rare events, large deviations, resetting processes, the big-jump principle, and other advances in the stochastic modelling and statistical analysis of non-Gaussian dynamics. The aim is to foster discussion of new theoretical frameworks and open problems underlying non-Gaussian stochastic behaviour across physical and related systems.
