Workshop: Random Dynamics and Other Recent Developments

这是一个为期5天的研究研讨会在概率题为随机动力学和其他最近的发展，将于2018年4月在谢菲尔德大学举行的部分资金的应用。这次会议将有利于英国数学通过刺激英国和国际专家之间的最新发展和未来的研究方向概率的互动。特别强调女性学者和早期职业研究人员的参与。英国被公认为全球领先的概率研究中心，但不断需要跟上国际发展的步伐。我们的研讨会侧重于随机几何，随机强化过程和随机动力系统的相互关联的主题。这三个领域最近在国际概率学界都有着激烈的活动，无论是因为它们的理论意义，还是它们在数据科学、社交网络和机器学习等应用中的重要性。研讨会围绕三个小型课程展开，由国际知名研究人员提供，对应于上述三个主题。迷你课程将由主要研究人员邀请的个人演讲作为补充，同时为博士生和早期职业研究人员提供机会，以提供贡献的演讲或在海报会议上展示。此外，讲习班的拟议时间表包括每天为分组会议和讨论小组留出的时间，以促进探索新的研究方向，并支持建立新的合作关系。

This is an application for partial funding for a 5-day research workshop in probability entitled Random Dynamics and Other Recent Developments, to be held at the University of Sheffield in April 2018. The meeting will benefit UK mathematics by stimulating interactions between UK and international experts on the latest developments and future research directions within probability. Particular emphases is placed on the participation of female academics and early career researchers.The UK is recognized globally as a leading center for research in probability, but there is a constant need to keep abreast of international developments. Our workshop focuses on the inter-related themes of random geometry, random reinforced processes and stochastic dynamical systems. All three of these areas have seen intense recent activity within the international probability community, both for their theoretical significance and for their importance in applications such as data science, social networks and machine learning.The workshop is centered around three mini-courses, given by internationally distinguished researchers, corresponding to the three themes mentioned above. The mini-courses will be complemented by invited individual talks from leading researchers, alongside opportunities for PhD students and early career researchers to give contributed talks or present at a poster session. Additionally, the proposed schedule of the workshop contains time set aside on each day for break-out sessions and discussion groups, to facilitate exploration of new research directions and to support the formation of new collaborations.
