CBMS Conference: Gaussian Random Fields, Fractals, Stochastic Partial Differential Equations, and Extremes

该奖项将支持将于2020年8月3日至7日在亨茨维尔阿拉巴马大学举行的NSF/CBMS区域研究会议。主题是高斯随机场、分形、随机偏微分方程和极值。特邀讲师是密歇根州立大学基金会教授肖益民。讲座将从概率论、分形、随机偏微分方程、极值理论等方面概括介绍随机场的最新发展，面向概率论及相关领域的年轻研究人员和研究生。整个项目建立在高斯随机场的一般理论基础上，并向会议参与者展示了内在联系主题的前沿研究。会议将为理解随机场带来新的见解，并进一步促进其在数学，统计和其他科学领域的适用性。NSF/CBMS项目侧重于重要和及时的研究，由一位主要研究人员进行10次讲座。本次会议将汇聚来自概率论和统计学领域的专家，与概率论和相关领域的年轻研究人员和研究生进行互动，探讨随机场与SPDEs、几何和极值之间的联系，并确定随机场理论中由统计学、数学物理、流体动力学等学科驱动的开放性问题。会议将资助大约25名参与者，特别是针对研究生、博士后、早期职业研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的个人。本次会议将为学生和初级研究人员提供一个难得的机会，让他们了解随机场理论和相关主题的最新发展，并与概率和统计领域的主要研究人员进行互动。欲了解更多信息，请参阅会议网页：https://www.uah.edu/math/cbms2020This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This award will support an NSF/CBMS Regional Research Conference to be held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, August 3-7, 2020. The topics are Gaussian Random Fields, Fractals, Stochastic Partial Differential Equations, and Extremes. The distinguished lecturer will be Foundation Professor Yimin Xiao from Michigan State University. The lectures will put the latest developments on random fields from the areas of probability theory, fractals, stochastic partial differential equations, and extreme value theory in a nutshell and present to young researchers and graduate students in probability and related areas. The overall project builds upon the general theory of Gaussian random fields and presents cutting-edge research on intrinsically connected topics to the participants of the conference. The conference will bring novel insights into the understanding of random fields and further promote their applicability in mathematics, statistics, and other scientific areas.The NSF/CBMS program focuses on important and timely research, with 10 lectures delivered by a leading researcher. This conference will bring together experts from probability and statistics on the topics involving random fields to interact with young researchers and graduate students in probability and related areas, and will explore connections between random fields and SPDEs, geometry and extremes, and to identify open problems in the theory of random fields that are motivated by statistics, mathematical physics, fluid dynamics, among other disciplines. The conference will fund approximately 25 participants, especially targeting graduate students, postdocs, early-career researchers, and individuals from underrepresented groups. This conference will be an extraordinary opportunity for students and junior researchers to learn the latest developments in random fields theory and related topics, and to interact with leading researchers in probability and statistics.
