Graduate Student Conference in Probability

这是一项为参加2011年和2012年年度研究生概率会议的与会者提供差旅支助的提案。在2007年，一组研究生在威斯康星州在麦迪逊（UW）的大学，与教授托马斯库尔茨的协助下，组织了第一届研究生概率会议。本次会议为来自全国各地的学生和博士后研究员提供了与同行互动的机会，并从该领域的一些领导者那里了解令人兴奋的概率研究新方向。第五次会议将于2011年4月29日至5月1日举行，第六次会议暂定于2012年4月27日至29日举行。在为期三天的会议中，与会者-主要是研究生和博士后-将有机会发表和参加关于概率论各种主题的演讲。除了学生和博士后演讲者外，还将有两名主题演讲者，他们将调查他们专业领域的最新发展和未来方向，每人提供三个50分钟的演讲。Nathalie Eisenbaum教授（皮埃尔和玛丽居里大学概率学院）和Philip Protter教授（康奈尔/哥伦比亚大学）已接受邀请，担任主旨发言人。

This is a proposal for participant travel support to attend the Annual Graduate StudentProbability Conference for the years 2011 and 2012. In 2007, a group of graduate students at the University of Wisconsin at Madison (UW), with assistance from Professor Thomas Kurtz, organized the first Graduate Student Probability Conference. This conference provided students and postdoctoral fellows from across the country with the opportunity to interact with their peers and learn about exciting new directions of research in Probability from some of the leaders in the field.The fifth conference in the series will be held April 29-May 1, 2011 while the sixth one is tentatively scheduled for April 27-29, 2012. Over the three days of the conference, participants - primarily graduate students and postdocs - will have the opportunity to deliver and attend talks on a variety of topics in Probability Theory.In addition to student and postdoc speakers, there will be two keynote speakers who will survey recent developments and future directions in their area of expertise each giving three fifty-minute talks. Professor Nathalie Eisenbaum (Laboratoire de Probabilites, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie) and Professor Philip Protter (Cornell/Columbia University) have accepted the invitation to be keynote speakers.
