点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This is an application for partial funding of a 5-day meeting in the are of Probability, specifically in Levy processes, to be held in Samos, Greece, in July 2019. The meeting will benefit the UK and international mathematical community by stimulating interactions between experts, beginning researchers and graduate students. The meeting is by invitation only and is the 9th in the series of triennial meetings on the topic of Levy processes. There are about 30 invited speakers from all over the world, and about 10 of them from the UK. The aim is to promote interactions, discuss recent developments, encourage young researchers and graduate students and, in particular, female academics and students.The UK is recognized internationally as a leading country in the area of probability and there is a constant need to maintain this distinction. The topic of Levy processes has been at the forefront of research in probability theory and its applications, especially in view of the large number of areas that require these processes: finance, insurance, biology, engineering, communications, computer science, operational research, to name but a few. Levy processes include Brownian motion and the topics covered in the meeting include both theory and applications in all the aforementioned fields.Preceding the workshop there will be a mini-course in order to introduce graduate students, young researchers as well as other interested participants in the topic. The main part of the meeting will consist of talks given by invited experts in their fields of research. Particular emphasis will be placed in inter-personal interactions, in promoting future collaborations and in discussing research problems.
