Cincinnati Symposium on Probability Theory and Applications 2014, September 19-21, 2014

2014年辛辛那提概率论与应用研讨会将于2014年9月19日至21日在辛辛那提大学举行，重点关注相关结构极限定理的当前研究。依赖结构在物理应用中无处不在，但也提出了许多数学挑战。近年来，通过将研讨会两个或两个以上重点领域的想法结合起来，取得了一些重要突破。研讨会将提供一个平台，展示最新的发展，并刺激新的跨学科的调查和合作。为了激发新的想法，并协助年轻的probabilists的专业发展，研讨会将强调研究生和最近的博士学位获得者的参与。除了邀请高级研究人员参加讲座外，年轻的研究人员将有充分的机会在简短的讲座和海报论坛上介绍他们的研究。通过提供旅行支持，特别是对初级probabilists，该奖项将促进初级和更成熟的研究人员之间的互动和潜在合作，并鼓励在概率和相关领域注入新的想法。最近，在理解经典极限定理如何在弱依赖性假设不成立时保持或失效方面取得了重大进展。与此同时，具有复杂依赖结构的模型，特别是随机矩阵理论和数学物理，对概率学家提出了新的挑战。研讨会将汇集专家和初级研究人员，致力于1）通过鞅近似的几乎肯定极限定理，2）长程相关现象和无限遍历理论，以及3）高维随机矩阵的谱。研讨会网址：http://math.uc.edu/probability

The Cincinnati Symposium on Probability Theory and Applications 2014 will take place September 19 to 21, 2014 at the University of Cincinnati with a focus on current research in limit theorems for dependent structures. Dependent structures are ubiquitous in physical applications, yet present many mathematical challenges. Several important breakthroughs have been made in recent years by combining ideas from two or more of the Symposium focus areas. The Symposium will provide a platform to showcase recent developments and stimulate new cross-disciplinary investigations and collaborations. In order to stimulate new ideas and assist with the professional development of young probabilists, the Symposium will emphasize the participation of graduate students and recent PhD recipients. Besides invited talks by senior researchers, there will be ample opportunities for young investigators to present their research in shorter talks and at a poster forum. By providing travel support, especially to junior probabilists, this award will facilitate interactions and potential collaborations between junior and more established researchers, and encourage the infusion of new ideas across probability and related fields. Recently, significant progress has been made in understanding how classical limit theorems persist or break down when the assumption of weak dependence is not valid. At the same time, models with complex dependence structures, notably arising from random matrix theory and mathematical physics, present new challenges to probabilists. The Symposium will bring together experts and junior researchers working on 1) almost sure limit theorems via martingale approximations, 2) long-range dependence phenomena and infinite ergodic theory, and 3) spectra of large-dimensional random matrices.
