Support for the US participants of the 6th Levy Conference; Technical University of Dresden, Germany; July 2010

该提案的目的是为参加第六届国际征税程序会议的美国参与者提供部分支持。这项支持主要针对研究生、博士后、初级教师、妇女和少数民族。会议定于2010年7月26日至30日在德国德累斯顿工业大学举行。2010年7月22日至24日，在布伦瑞克举办了一所暑期学校。利维过程是许多不同数学学科的交叉点，如傅里叶分析、势理论、偏微分方程、分形分析和随机学的各种分支。与此同时，列维过程现在被用于各种各样的科学和工程问题中，因此产生了许多新的数学问题。列维过程理论的基本应用出现在不同的领域，如数学、金融、保险、电信、极值理论、量子理论、气象学、地球物理学、天体物理学和许多其他领域。列维过程会议促进了思想的交流，帮助研究人员进入这些重要的、经常是跨学科的研究领域。该提案的一个中心主题是帮助美国的初级研究人员和研究生能够参加该会议及其卫星暑期学校。

The intend of this proposal is to provide partial support for the U.S. participants of the 6th International Conference on Levy Processes. The support is primarily aimed at graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, women and minorities. The conference is scheduled to be held on July 26-30, 2010 at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. It follows a companion summer school in Braunschweig, July 22-24, 2010. Levy processes are at the crossroad of many different mathematical disciplines such as Fourier analysis, potential theory, partial differential equations, fractal analysis, and various branches of stochastics. At the same time, Levy processes are now being used in a great variety of scientific and engineering problems, and as a result, a host of new mathematical problems have arisen. Essential use of the theory of Levy processes occur in disparate fields such as mathematical finance, insurance, telecommunications, extreme values theory, quantum theory, meteorology, geophysics, astrophysics, and many other areas. Conferences on Levy Processes foster cross-fertilization of ideas and help researchers to enter into these ares of vital and often interdisciplinary research. A central theme of this proposal is to help make the conference, as well as its satellite summer school, accessible to junior researchers and graduate students in the United States.
