The goal of this little unformal workshop is to put together several new ideas arising in meanfield theory associted to the theory on measure of an infinite number of variables (Hewitt-Savage), numerical approximations of PDEs, artificial intelligence (transformers), statistical mechanics (cumulants).
Organizers: T. Paul, S. Rossi, and E. Trélat.
