Cincinnati Symposium on Probability Theory and Applications 2014, September 19-21, 2014

2014年辛辛那提概率理论和应用研讨会将于2014年9月19日至21日在辛辛那提大学举行，重点关注相关结构的极限定理的最新研究。相依结构在物理应用中无处不在，但也带来了许多数学挑战。近年来，通过结合研讨会的两个或两个以上重点领域的想法，取得了几项重要突破。研讨会将提供一个平台，展示最近的发展，并鼓励新的跨学科调查和合作。为了激发新的想法和帮助年轻概率学家的专业发展，研讨会将强调研究生和新近获得博士学位的人的参与。除了高级研究人员邀请的演讲外，年轻研究人员还将有大量机会在较短的演讲和海报论坛上介绍他们的研究。通过提供旅行支持，特别是对初级概率学家，该奖项将促进初级和更成熟的研究人员之间的互动和潜在的合作，并鼓励在概率和相关领域注入新的想法。最近，在理解当弱相依性假设无效时经典极限定理如何成立或失效方面取得了重大进展。与此同时，具有复杂依赖结构的模型，特别是来自随机矩阵理论和数学物理的模型，对概率学家提出了新的挑战。研讨会将汇集专家和初级研究人员，他们的研究领域包括：1)基于鞅逼近的几乎必然极限定理；2)长程依赖现象和无限遍历理论；3)高维随机矩阵谱。研讨会网站：http://math.uc.edu/probability

The Cincinnati Symposium on Probability Theory and Applications 2014 will take place September 19 to 21, 2014 at the University of Cincinnati with a focus on current research in limit theorems for dependent structures. Dependent structures are ubiquitous in physical applications, yet present many mathematical challenges. Several important breakthroughs have been made in recent years by combining ideas from two or more of the Symposium focus areas. The Symposium will provide a platform to showcase recent developments and stimulate new cross-disciplinary investigations and collaborations. In order to stimulate new ideas and assist with the professional development of young probabilists, the Symposium will emphasize the participation of graduate students and recent PhD recipients. Besides invited talks by senior researchers, there will be ample opportunities for young investigators to present their research in shorter talks and at a poster forum. By providing travel support, especially to junior probabilists, this award will facilitate interactions and potential collaborations between junior and more established researchers, and encourage the infusion of new ideas across probability and related fields. Recently, significant progress has been made in understanding how classical limit theorems persist or break down when the assumption of weak dependence is not valid. At the same time, models with complex dependence structures, notably arising from random matrix theory and mathematical physics, present new challenges to probabilists. The Symposium will bring together experts and junior researchers working on 1) almost sure limit theorems via martingale approximations, 2) long-range dependence phenomena and infinite ergodic theory, and 3) spectra of large-dimensional random matrices.
