Dear Colleagues:

The Mathematics Department at the University of Missouri-Columbia is pleased to host a conference on Analytic and Probabilistic Techniques in Modern Convex Geometry, dedicated to Alexander Koldobsky on the occassion of his 60th birthday, November 7-9, 2015.

We aim to bring together experienced and early-stage researchers to discuss the latest developments on slicing inequalities for convex sets, geometry of high-dimensional measures, affine isoperimetric inequalities and non-asymptotic random matrix theory.

Information is available at

http://www.bengal.missouri.edu/~pivovarovp/APTMCG/index.html

Funding is still available to cover the local and travel expenses of a limited number of participants. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and members of underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply for support. Please register online or contact Peter Pivovarov at pivovarovp@missouri.edu.

A poster session will be held for researchers to display their work. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to submit a poster.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Pivovarov

on behalf of the organizers:

Grigoris Paouris Peter Pivovarov Mark Rudelson Artem Zvavitch
