Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Freidlin-Wentzell theory grants powerful tools to study the behaviour of dynamical systems perturbed by small noise. It applies naturally to ecological processes modelling large populations, as demographic noise scales as the inverse of the population size. This entails asymptotic estimates for the expected time to extinction, the typical path to extinction and the quasi-stationary distribution conditioned on non-extinction, formulated as large deviations results.
