2014 Barrett Lectures

2014年巴雷特讲座将于2014年6月16日至19日在田纳西州诺克斯维尔的田纳西大学举行。今年的会议，题为“复杂的分析概率设置”，将集中在这些领域的交叉令人兴奋的最新发展。 在过去的二十年里，复分析和概率领域之间产生了富有成效的相互作用，并进一步与离散数学，保形几何和理论物理学建立了联系。 这方面的例子包括Schramm-Loewner演化和随机三角剖分。 会议将以领先的研究人员，格雷戈里·米尔蒙特和斯特芬·罗德为特色，他们将分别进行三次谈话调查系列讲座。 此外，会议形式包括邀请高级研究人员的全体会议，早期职业参与者的简短交流，以及海报和计算机演示会议。 该项目是NSF资助，以支持约30名参与者，特别是早期职业研究人员和研究生的旅费和其他参与者的费用。2014年巴雷特讲座将是一个高度重视的系列讲座的第44部分，开始作为杰出的科学家约翰H.巴雷特，头我们的数学系在他去世时，于1969年。过去的会议吸引了一系列杰出的演讲者和与会者。 今年的会议主题突出了数学中两个值得注意的趋势，概率方法对经典领域的渗透以及计算机实验对研究紧急现象的影响。 与会者将包括资深数学家和早期职业研究人员谁将推动这些趋势。 早期职业数学家将有机会向国际上备受推崇的研究人员学习并与之互动。

The 2014 Barrett Lectures will be held June 16-19, 2014 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. This year's conference, entitled "Complex Analysis in Probabilistic Settings," will focus on exciting recent developments in the intersection of these fields. Over the last two decades, there has been productive interplay between the fields of complex analysis and probability, with further connections to discrete mathematics, conformal geometry, and theoretical physics. Examples of this include Schramm-Loewner Evolution and random triangulations. The conference will feature leading researchers, Grégory Miermont and Steffen Rohde, who will each give a three-talk survey lecture series. Additionally, the conference format includes invited plenary talks by senior researchers, shorter communications by early-career participants, and poster and computer demonstration sessions. This project is NSF funding to support travel and other participant costs for approximately 30 participants, especially early-career researchers and graduate students.The 2014 Barrett Lectures will be the 44th installment of a highly regarded lecture series that began as a tribute to the distinguished scientist John H. Barrett, head of our Mathematics Department at the time of his death in 1969. The past conferences have attracted a distinguished series of speakers and participants. This year's conference topics highlight two notable trends in mathematics, the penetration of probabilistic methods into classical areas and the impact of computer experimentation in studying emergent phenomena. Participants will include established senior mathematicians and the early-career researchers who will push these trends. Early-career mathematicians will have the opportunity to learn from and interact with an international slate of highly regarded researchers.
