Dear colleagues,
would it be possible to announce on the Banach Bulletin Board
the second announcement (below) of the Winter School on
Probabilistic Methods in High Dimension Phenomena? Many thanks
in advance for your help.
Sincerely yours.
M. Ledoux

Second Announcement of the Winter School on
PROBABILISTIC METHODS IN HIGH DIMENSION PHENOMENA
Toulouse, January 10-14, 2005
The school will provide young as well as expert scientists with
the recent probabilistic tools developed for the investigation
of high-dimensional systems. It is part of the European Network
"Phenomena in High Dimension". It will be composed of the
following five courses:
I.Benjamini (Rehovot) ``Random walks and Percolation on graphs''
C.Borell (Goteborg) ``Minkowski sums in Gaussian analysis''
K.Johansson (Stockholm) ``Determinantal Processes in Random Matrix Theory''
G.Lugosi (Barcelona) ``Concentration of Functions of Independent Random
Variables''
R.Schneider (Freiburg) ``Convexity in Stochastic Geometry''
It is now time for participants:
* to registrate:
we had some technical problems with the online registration engine.
So we ask you to registrate (to REGISTRATE AGAIN if you already did
it through the online form) by sending an email to our secretary
Mrs Michel
michel(a)lsp.ups-tlse.fr,
specifying your NAME, your AFFILIATION, ADDRESS and DATES of
attendance.
* and to prepare their travel and accomodation plans:
The expenses of the members of the PHD network are supported by
their nodes (but it is likely that universities have to pay in
advance and the RTN will reimburse when it is operating).
We hope that we will have some money left to partially cover
the expenses of participants not belonging to the network.
Priority will be given to PHD Students and Post-Docs.
If you need such support, please mention it in the registration
email to Mrs Michel.
More information is available on the conference Webpage
http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Proba_Winter_School/
It has been updated and contains new pieces of information about
* abstracts of the courses
* accomodation: The list of hotels has been completed. Economical options
have been added. In particular we have made a temporary
reservation for a very limited number of rooms on the campus
for 22 Euros per night. These rooms can be booked by
sending an email to Mrs Michel (michel(a)lesp.ups-tlse.fr).
Sincerely,
F. Barthe

This is an announcement for the paper "A weak-type inequality
for non-commutative martingales and applications" by Narcisse
Randrianantoanina.
Abstract: We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions
of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$
and $L^1$.
More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical
result
of
Burkholder holds:
there exists an absolute constant $K>0$ such that if $\cal{M}$ is a
semi-finite von Neumann algebra and $(\cal{M}_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ is
an increasing filtration of von Neumann subalgebras of $\cal{M}$
then for any given martingale $x=(x_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$
that is bounded in $L^2(\cal{M})\cap L^1(\cal{M})$,
adapted to $(\cal{M}_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$, there exist two
\underline{martingale difference} sequences, $a=(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ and
$b=(b_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, with $dx_n = a_n + b_n$ for every $n\geq 1$, \[
\left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} a_n^*a_n \right)^{{1}/{2}}\right\|_{2}
+ \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} b_nb_n^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_{2} \leq
2\left\| x \right\|_2, \] and \[ \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1} a_n^*a_n
\right)^{{1}/{2}}\right\|_{1,\infty} + \left\| \left(\sum^\infty_{n=1}
b_nb_n^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_{1,\infty} \leq K\left\| x \right\|_1. \]
As an application, we obtain the optimal orders of growth for the
constants
involved in the Pisier-Xu non-commutative analogue of the classical
Burkholder-Gundy inequalities.
