Conference Proposal: Conference Grant Application for Thematic Programme on Random Geometry

随机几何专题方案将于2015年1月12日至7月3日在英国剑桥大学举办。该计划的目的是将来自世界各地的领先研究人员聚集在一起，探索和发展随机几何这一新兴的领域，这是一门位于概率、几何和分析的交叉点上的数学新学科。随机几何使用这些领域的工具来定量地研究随机度量空间的丰富几何结构以及生活在其中的随机过程。随机几何本质上是跨学科的，该计划的智力价值在于它有可能在不同的数学领域建立思想的交叉培养，并将这些思想与理论物理和其他科学领域联系起来。通过这种跨学科的思想交流和对新一代学生进行这一重要领域工作的培训，将产生更广泛的影响。除了促进顶尖研究人员之间的长期合作外，该计划还将允许通过会议传播新的成果，这些会议涉及共形不变比例限制(2015年1月26日至30日)、随机图和树及其应用(2015年3月16日至20日)、随机平面结构(2015年4月20日至24日)以及随机行走的几何和SLE(2015年6月15日至19日)。该方案将从为年轻研究人员举办的教学讲习班(2015年1月12日至23日)开始。这项提案的资金将使美国的学生和初级研究人员能够参与这些项目。会议网址：www.newton.ac.uk/Event/RGM

The thematic programme on Random Geometry will be hosted at Cambridge University, United Kingdom, from January 12 to July 3, 2015. The purpose of the programme is to bring together leading researchers from around the world to explore and develop the burgeoning field of Random Geometry, a new discipline of mathematics that lies at the intersection of probability, geometry, and analysis. Random Geometry uses tools from these fields to quantifiably study the rich geometrical structure of random metric spaces and the random processes that live within them. Random Geometry is interdisciplinary in nature, and the intellectual merit of the programme lies in its potential to establish a cross-fertilization of ideas within different areas of mathematics and connect these ideas with theoretical physics and other fields of science. Broader impact will be realized via this exchange of ideas across disciplines and through the training of a new generation of students to carry on the work in this important field.In addition to enabling long-term collaborations between leading researchers, the programme will allow for the dissemination of new results with conferences on Conformally Invariant Scaling Limits (Jan 26-30, 2015), Random Graphs and Trees and their Applications (Mar 16-20, 2015), Random Planar Structures (April 20-24, 2015), and the Geometry of Random Walks and SLE (June 15-19, 2015). The programme will begin with an Instructional Workshop for Younger Researchers (Jan 12-23, 2015). Funds from this proposal will enable the participation of United States based students and junior researchers in these programs. Conference website: www.newton.ac.uk/event/rgm
