Proposed visit of Professor Gunter Last (Karlsruhe University, Germany)

这项建议的目的是让卡尔斯鲁厄大学的Gunter Last教授来英国为期两个月，他是一位在随机几何概率理论和随机稳定性方面拥有特殊专长的杰出数学家。在此期间，Last教授将在麦克斯韦研究所的保护伞下，在Heriot-Watt大学就“随机几何的一些主题”进行一次简短的课程，并将与拟议的研究人员及其同事进行密集的思想交流，作为拟议的合作的初始阶段。他还将访问其他英国机构，举行研讨会讲座，并与那些地方的同事进行进一步的科学讨论。

The aim of this proposal is to bring Professor Gunter Last of Karlsruhe University, a distinguished mathematician withparticular expertise in the probability theory of stochastic geometryand stochastic stability, tothe UK for a period of two months. During this period ProfessorLast would give a short course on ``Some topics in stochastic geometry'' at Heriot-Watt University under an umbrella of Maxwell Institute, andwould hold an intensive exchange of ideas with the proposedInvestigators and their colleagues as an initial phase of proposedcollaboration. He would also visit other UK Institutions to giveseminar talks and to hold further scientific discussions with colleaguesat those places.
