Summer School on Mathematical Statistical Physics

这项提议的目的是为选定的美国参与者提供资金支持，主要是表现出巨大希望的初级研究人员，他们将参加2005年7月在法国著名的莱豪斯会议中心举行的数学统计物理暑期学校。一些演讲者和他们的主题是B.Duplan tier和W.Werner关于共形不变性，F.Guerraon无序系统，K.Johansson关于随机矩阵，A.-S.Sznitman关于随机环境中的随机行走，A.D.Sznitman关于蒙特卡罗模拟，A.-L.Barabasi关于复杂网络。2005年7月在法国莱豪斯的学院，高级研究生，博士后和初级教师，将集中于各种涉及随机性的模型，这些模型近年来引起了数学家和物理学家的强烈兴趣。将向年轻的美国研究人员提供的财政支持将使他们的参与成为可能，预计这将对他们的职业生涯产生重大影响，从而影响美国在该领域的持续领导角色。对于欧洲的参与者，欧洲科学基金会可以提供支持；这项提议的主要目标是确保美国的初级研究人员不会因为缺乏支持而错过这个机会。

The purpose of this proposal is to provide financial support for selected USparticipants, primarily beginning researchers showing great promise, to attendthe July 2005 summer school in mathematical statistical physics at the well-known conference center of les Houches in France. Some of the speakers andtheir topics are B. Duplantier and W. Werner on conformal invariance, F. Guerraon disordered systems, K. Johansson on random matrices, A.-S. Sznitman onrandom walks in random environments, A.D. Sokal on Monte Carlo simulations,and A.-L. Barabasi on complex networks.The July 2005 school in Les Houches, France, for advanced graduate students,postdocs, and junior faculty, will focus on a variety of models involvingrandomness that have been of intense interest in recent years among bothmathematicians and physicists. The financial support that will be made available to young US researchers will make possible their participation, which can be expected to have a major impact on their careers, and hence on the continuedleadership role of the US in this area. For European participants, support is available from the European Science Foundation; the main objective of this proposal is to ensure that US based junior researchers do not miss thisopportunity because of lack of support.
