Workshop in Analysis and Probability Department of Mathematics Texas A&M University Summer 2007
The Summer 2007 session of the Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M University will be in session from July 9 until August 12. For information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, URL http://www.math.tamu.edu/research/workshops/linanalysis/
The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held August 10-12. Speakers will include Rodrigo Banuelos, Grahame Bennett, Dmitry Panchenko, Michael Steele, and Staszek Szarek.
Ken Dykema kdykema@math.tamu.edu and Michael Anshelevich manshel@math.tamu.edu are organizing a Concentration Week on "Free Probability Theory" which is designed to introduce advanced graduate students and postdocs to Free Probability. It will take place July 9-13. There will be one or two basic talks at the start for those without any previous knowledge of free probability theory. Then lecture series will be given by the following experts: Hari Bercovici, "Complex analytic and probabalistic aspects of free probability theory"; Kenley Jung, "Free entropy and operator algebras"; Alexandru Nica, "Combinatorics of free probability theory".
Gideon Schechtman gideon.schechtman@weizmann.ac.il and Joel Zinn jzinn@math.tamu.edu are organizing a Concentration Week on "Probability Inequalities with Applications to High Dimensional Phenomena" that will take place August 6 - August 10. The first day will be devoted to introductory talks designed to introduce non experts to the subject.
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
