US participant support for the Instut Henri Poincare quarter program "Random Walks and the Asymptotic Geometry of Groups"

该提案旨在支持美国数学家参加将于2014年1月3日至4月6日在法国巴黎的亨利·庞加莱研究所（IHP）举办的季度计划“随机游动与群的渐近几何”。这个程序是关于理论的随机游动的群体和它的关系和相互作用与组合和几何群论。该计划的目的是介绍这一研究领域及其最新发展，审查和传播最新进展，并刺激新思想和研究方向的出现。有些活动是专门针对刚开始职业生涯的研究人员和事先对这一研究领域没有具体知识的人。其他活动是针对专家的。大多数活动将侧重于最近的发展和新的研究方向。 该方案的网站是http://www.ihp.fr/en/ceb/geowalks。

This proposal is to support participation of mathematicians based in the United States to the quarter program "Random Walks and the Asymptotic Geometry of Groups" to be held at Institut Henri Poincare (IHP) in Paris, France, from January 3rd to April 6th, 2014. This program is concerned with the theory of random walks on groups and its relations and interactions with combinatorial and geometric group theory. The aim of the program is to provide an introduction to this area of research and its most recent developments, to review and disseminate recent progress and to stimulate the emergence of new ideas and directions of research. Some of the activities are aimed specifically at researchers at the beginning of their career and at people who have no prior specific knowledge of this area of research. Other activities are aimed at specialists. Most of the activities will focus on recent developments and new directions of research. The program's website is available at http://www.ihp.fr/en/ceb/geowalks.
