PIMS Summer School in Probability 2015

该旅行补助金支持美国学生参加2015年太平洋数学科学研究所（PIMS）概率暑期学校，该暑期学校将于2015年6月15日至7月11日在蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学举行。这所学校致力于培养概率论领域的博士生。它预计会有一些高级本科生、新近获得博士学位的学生和一些普通教师参加。2015年PIMS暑期学校为研究生和初级研究人员提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以从该领域的顶级专家那里了解现代概率论中一些最活跃的研究领域。初级参与者通常是当前和未来的学术教师，能够在研究界进一步传播这些基本技术的知识。PIMS概率暑期学校于2004年启动，在北美概率学社区的发展中发挥了突出作用，并在促进参与者之间的长期合作方面取得了良好的记录。参与者将学习概率论中一些最活跃领域的当前技术，包括随机矩阵理论及其与自由概率和地图枚举的联系，高维渗透和临界附近的缩放指数，临界随机结构的连续尺度极限及其与随机网络上的概率组合优化和动态扩散模型的联系，以及通过增加随机性来稳定偏微分方程。预计与会者将对主要课程所涉及的一些主题和相关领域进行积极的研究。会议的完整描述可以在http://problab.ca/ssprob2015/index.php上找到

This travel grant supports the participation of U.S.-based students in the 2015 Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Summer School in Probability, to be held at McGill University in Montreal, June 15- July 11, 2015. The school is devoted to training of doctoral students in the area of probability. It anticipates some participation of advanced undergraduate students, recent Ph.D.s, and also some regular faculty. The PIMS Summer School 2015 is a fantastic opportunity for graduate students and junior researchers to learn about some of the most active research areas in modern probability theory from top experts in the field. The junior participants are often current and future academic faculty, able to spread the knowledge of these fundamental techniques further in the research community. The PIMS probability summer schools, launched in 2004, play an outstanding role in the development of an exceptionally strong community of probabilists in North America and have a proven track record of fostering long term collaborations between the participants. The participants will learn current techniques in some of the most active areas of probability theory, including random matrix theory and its connection to free probability and enumeration of maps, high dimensional percolation and scaling exponents near criticality, continuum scaling limits of critical random structures and their connection to probabilistic combinatorial optimization and dynamic models of diffusion on random networks as well as stabilization of partial differential equations via the addition of randomness. It is expected that the participants will engage in active research on some topics covered by the main courses and related areas.A complete description of the conference can be found at:http://problab.ca/ssprob2015/index.php
