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

随机几何主题课程将于2015年1月12日至7月3日在英国剑桥大学举办。该计划的目的是汇集来自世界各地的领先研究人员，探索和发展新兴的随机几何领域，这是一门新的数学学科，位于概率，几何和分析的交叉点。随机几何使用这些领域的工具来定量研究随机度量空间的丰富几何结构以及其中的随机过程。随机几何本质上是跨学科的，该课程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受精，并将这些思想与理论物理和其他科学领域联系起来。通过跨学科的思想交流和培养新一代学生在这一重要领域开展工作，将实现更广泛的影响。除了促进主要研究人员之间的长期合作外，该计划还将允许在共形不变缩放极限（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）以及随机行走和SLE几何（2015年6月15日至19日）会议上传播新结果。该项目将以青年研究人员指导研讨会（2015年1月12日至23日）开始。这项提案提供的资金将使在美国的学生和初级研究人员能够参与这些项目。会议网站：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
