Bálint Tóth

Bálint Tόth (born 1955) is a Hungarian mathematician whose work concerns probability theory. He has worked in various fields of probability theory and mathematical physics, for example in microscopic models of Brownian motion,quantum spin systems, limit theorems for random walks with long memoryand non-conventional stochastic processes, hydrodynamic limits, etc. In particular, Tόth contributed significantly to the theory of self-interacting motions, that is, motions that are "reinforced", "self-avoiding" or "self-repellent". In 1994 he received the Mathematical Prize awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (since 1997 the prize is called `Paul Erdõs Prize' after the late Paul Erdős).

Since 2005 Bálint Tόth is the director of the Mathematical Institute of the Technical University of Budapest.

Tόth is a close collaborator of Wendelin Werner.
