FIRST 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 project of 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''

The conference Webpage is at http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Proba_Winter_School/. It contains more information as well as the registration material.

Do not hesitate to print the conference poster (http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Proba_Winter_School/poster.pdf) and to post it in your lab!
