DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Werner Krauth (Laboratoire de Physique\, Ecole norma
 le supérieure\, Paris\, France)\n\nThe Monte Carlo method is at the origi
 n of the revolution in physics that has brought the electronic computer in
 to our research laboratories and class rooms. Since its beginning\, in 195
 3\, the method has relied on the detailed-balance condition to map general
  computational problems onto equilibrium-statistical-physics systems. Such
  reversible Markov chains are generally characterized by diffusive transpo
 rt. In the last two decades\, a second revolution has taken place\, where 
 the detailed balance is broken and thus\, also\, the analogy with equilibr
 ium statistical physics. The steady state of non-reversible Markov chains 
 agrees with that of the equilibrium approach\, but it is often approached 
 ballistically\, rather than diffusively. In this talk\, I will introduce 
 to this interdisciplinary field of research about non-equilibrium in equil
 ibrium\, starting with the keywords of modern Markov-chain Monte Carlo. In
  particular\, I will discuss applications from Bethe-ansatz solvable parti
 cle models to new Monte Carlo algorithms in statistical and chemical physi
