Stochastic processes and high dimensional probability distributionsJune 16 - 20, 2014Euler International Mathematical Institute, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
A conference in honor of the lifelong contributions of Vladimir Nikolayevich Sudakov.
The conference will focus on several closely related directions in Probability Theory and Analysis including: Geometric problems about Gaussian and other linear stochastic processes; Typical distributions, measure concentration and high dimensional phenomena; Optimal transportation and associated Sobolev-type and information-theoretic inequalities.
Invited speakers are: V.Bogachev (Moscow University), A.Dembo (Stanford), R.Dudley (MIT), W.Gangbo (Georgia Tech), N.Gozlan (Paris-Est), I.Ibragimov (Steklov Institute), S.Kwapien (Warsaw), R Latala (Warsaw), M.Ledoux (Toulouse), R.McCann (Toronto), M.Milman (Florida), V.Milman (Tel Aviv), H. von Weizs"acker (Kaiserslautern). There will be an opportunity for contributed talks.
