Workshop: Levy Processes

这是为将于2019年7月在希腊萨摩斯举行的为期5天的概率论会议（特别是Levy流程）提供部分资金的申请。这次会议将通过促进专家、初级研究人员和研究生之间的互动，使英国和国际数学界受益。这次会议仅限邀请，是关于列维进程专题的三年期系列会议中的第9次会议。约有30位来自世界各地的受邀演讲者，其中约有10位来自英国。其目的是促进互动，讨论最近的发展，鼓励年轻的研究人员和研究生，特别是女性学者和学生。英国在国际上被公认为概率领域的领先国家，并且一直需要保持这种区别。Levy过程的主题一直处于概率论及其应用研究的前沿，特别是考虑到需要这些过程的大量领域：金融，保险，生物，工程，通信，计算机科学，运筹学，仅举几例。列维过程包括布朗运动，会议涵盖的主题包括上述所有领域的理论和应用。在研讨会之前，将有一个小型课程，以介绍研究生，年轻的研究人员以及其他对该主题感兴趣的参与者。会议的主要部分将由应邀的专家在他们的研究领域作报告。将特别强调人与人之间的互动，促进未来的合作和讨论研究问题。

This is an application for partial funding of a 5-day meeting in the are of Probability, specifically in Levy processes, to be held in Samos, Greece, in July 2019. The meeting will benefit the UK and international mathematical community by stimulating interactions between experts, beginning researchers and graduate students. The meeting is by invitation only and is the 9th in the series of triennial meetings on the topic of Levy processes. There are about 30 invited speakers from all over the world, and about 10 of them from the UK. The aim is to promote interactions, discuss recent developments, encourage young researchers and graduate students and, in particular, female academics and students.The UK is recognized internationally as a leading country in the area of probability and there is a constant need to maintain this distinction. The topic of Levy processes has been at the forefront of research in probability theory and its applications, especially in view of the large number of areas that require these processes: finance, insurance, biology, engineering, communications, computer science, operational research, to name but a few. Levy processes include Brownian motion and the topics covered in the meeting include both theory and applications in all the aforementioned fields.Preceding the workshop there will be a mini-course in order to introduce graduate students, young researchers as well as other interested participants in the topic. The main part of the meeting will consist of talks given by invited experts in their fields of research. Particular emphasis will be placed in inter-personal interactions, in promoting future collaborations and in discussing research problems.
