Stochastic processes and high dimensional probability distributions, Russia, Summer 2014

该奖项支持美国参加将于2014年6月16-20日在圣彼得堡欧拉数学研究所举行的“随机过程和高维概率分布”会议。会议的主要主题是对根据高维现象产生的随机过程的洞察。它将集中在几个密切相关的方向上，包括：关于高斯和线性随机过程的几何问题；典型的分布、集中度和其他高维现象；最优运输、相关的索波列夫型和信息论不等式。届时将有国际知名演讲者就广泛的主题进行演讲。组织者预计，在代表不同学校的40-50名科学家中，约有12-15名来自美国。它提供了一个机会来回顾该领域的最新成果，并会见几代研究人员，包括博士后和研究生。预计将有更多来自代表性不足群体的妇女和初级科学家参与。会议成果将被传播，并有助于加强和改进科学和教育活动。会议网站：http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2014/Sppd/index.html

This award provides support of the US participation in the conference "Stochastic processes and high dimensional probability distributions" which will be held at the Euler Mathematical Institute, Saint Petersburg, on June 16-20, 2014. The main theme of the conference is the insights into stochastic processes which arise in the light of high dimensional phenomena. It will focus on several closely related directions including: Geometric problems about Gaussian and linear stochastic processes;Typical distributions, concentration and other high dimensional phenomena;Optimal transportation, associated Sobolev-type and information-theoretic inequalities.The mission of this forum is to consolidate and further encourage investigations in the above mentioned directions. There will be talks by internationally known speakers on a wide variety of topics. The organizers expect about 12-15 participants from USA, out of the total number of 40-50 scientists representing different schools. It provides an opportunity to review the latest results in the field and to meet several generations of researchers including postdoc and graduate students. Broadening participation of women and junior scientists from under-represented groups is anticipated. The results of the meeting will be disseminated and contribute to the enhancement and improvement of scientific and educational activities.Website of the conference: http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2014/Sppd/index.html
