Analysis Conference on the Interplay of Complex Variables, Probability and Partial Differential Equations

华盛顿大学数学系将于2005年5月11日至14日主办一次关于复变量、概率和偏微分方程相互作用的国际会议。最后一个下午的会议将专门用来庆祝阿尔伯特·巴恩斯坦二世在他六十五岁生日时取得的成就。会议的主题是讨论分析、概率和偏微分方程之间的深层联系，包括著名的关于Beurling-Ahlfors变换的L^p范数猜想的最新进展，偏微分方程的对称化，以及函数论的经典思想向高维的扩展。除了6次全体讲座和13次特邀演讲外，还将召开一个关于未来研究方向的小组讨论会、一个关于分析专业研究生学习的小组讨论会和一个研究生讲习班。欲了解更多详情，请访问http://www.math.wustl.edu/ac.。数学中的许多重要发现都植根于明显不同领域之间的相互作用。这次会议的主题是复数分析、概率和偏微分方程之间的相互关系。主要的观点是，确定性现象可以用随机技术分析，反之亦然。最优化中的模拟退火法和数学金融学中的Black-Sholes方程是两个有许多实际应用的重要例子。这次会议将提供一个机会，将这些不同领域的想法介绍给研究生和年轻的研究人员。讲习班将为该小组提供必要的背景知识。此外，来自欧洲和美国的研究人员本来没有机会合作，但他们将在这次会议上找到一个。会议的主要目标之一是作为一个平台，吸引更多的妇女和代表不足的少数族裔参加分析。

The Washington University Department of mathematics will host an international conference on the Interplay of Complex Variables, Probability and Partial Differential Equations from May 11 to May 14, 2005. The last afternoon session will be devoted to a celebrattion of the achievements of Albert Baernstein II on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. The main theme of the conference is to discuss the deep connection between Analysis, Probability and Partial Differential Equations, including recent advances in the well-known conjecture on the L^p norm of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform, symmetrization in partial differential equations, and extensions of classical ideas of function theory to higher dimensions. In addition to six plenary lectures and thirteen invited talks, a panel on future research directions, a panel on graduate studies in Analysis and a workshop for graduate students will be convened. More details are available at http://www.math.wustl.edu/ac. Many important discoveries in Mathematics are rooted in the interplay between apparently different areas. This conference is centered on the mutual relationships between Complex Analysis, Probability and Partial differential equations. The main point is that deterministic phenomena can be analyzed by random techniques and vice versa. The method of simulated annealing in optimization and the Black-Sholes equation in mathematical finance are two important examples with many practical applications. This conference will provide an opportunity to present ideas from these different areas to graduate students and young investigators. A workshop will provide the necessary background for this group. In addition, researchers from Europe and the United States who would not otherwise have the opportunity to collaborate will find one by this meeting. One of the conference's main goals is to serve as a platform to attract more women and under-represented minorities to Analysis.
