Stochastic processes and high dimensional probability distributions, Russia, Summer 2014

该奖项为美国参加将于2014年6月16日至20日在圣彼得堡欧拉数学研究所举行的“随机过程和高维概率分布”会议提供支持。会议的主题是对随机过程的见解，这些过程是根据高维现象而产生的。该论坛将集中讨论几个密切相关的方向，包括：关于高斯和线性随机过程的几何问题;典型的分布、浓度和其他高维现象;最优运输、相关的Sobolev型和信息论不等式。该论坛的使命是巩固和进一步鼓励上述方向的研究。国际知名的演讲者将就各种各样的主题进行演讲。组织者预计来自美国的参与者约为12-15人，来自不同学校的40-50名科学家。它提供了一个机会，审查在该领域的最新成果，并满足几代研究人员，包括博士后和研究生。预计将扩大代表性不足群体的妇女和青年科学家的参与。会议的结果将予以传播，并将有助于加强和改进科学和教育活动。http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2014/Sppd/index.html

This award provides support of the US participation in the conference "Stochastic processes and high dimensional probability distributions" which will be held at the Euler Mathematical Institute, Saint Petersburg, on June 16-20, 2014. The main theme of the conference is the insights into stochastic processes which arise in the light of high dimensional phenomena. It will focus on several closely related directions including: Geometric problems about Gaussian and linear stochastic processes;Typical distributions, concentration and other high dimensional phenomena;Optimal transportation, associated Sobolev-type and information-theoretic inequalities.The mission of this forum is to consolidate and further encourage investigations in the above mentioned directions. There will be talks by internationally known speakers on a wide variety of topics. The organizers expect about 12-15 participants from USA, out of the total number of 40-50 scientists representing different schools. It provides an opportunity to review the latest results in the field and to meet several generations of researchers including postdoc and graduate students. Broadening participation of women and junior scientists from under-represented groups is anticipated. The results of the meeting will be disseminated and contribute to the enhancement and improvement of scientific and educational activities.Website of the conference: http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2014/Sppd/index.html
