Coffee and refreshments will be available in Blocker 155.
The usual SUMIRFAS dinner will be on August 11. It will be a BBQ and swim fest at the home of Jan and Bill Johnson.
Gideon Schechtman, and Joel Zinn, 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.
We expect to be able to cover housing for most participants from support the National Science Foundation has provided for the Workshop. Preference will be given to participants who do not have other sources of support, such as sponsored research grants. When you ask Cara to book your room, please tell them if you are requesting support. Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to apply.
For logistical support, please contact Cara Barton, cara@math.tamu.edu or Jaime Vykukal, jaime@math.tamu.edu. For more information on the Workshop itself, please contact William Johnson, johnson@math.tamu.edu, David Larson, larson@math.tamu.edu, Gilles Pisier, pisier@math.tamu.edu, or Joel Zinn, jzinn@math.tamu.edu.
