Review: This volume is based on the summer school held in Temuco, Chile in January 2001. The meeting bought together probabilists and graduate students interested in particle systems, percolation, Brownian motion, random structures, potential theory and stochastic processes. The course covered six topics: asymptotic of the heat kernel in unbounded domains; spin systems with long-range interactions; the nonlinear Dirichlet problem and nonlinear integration; first-passage percolation; central limit theorem for Markov processes; and stochastic orders and stopping times in Brownian motion.
