Perspectives in Analysis and Probability - Opening Conference

[Odalric-Ambrym Maillard]

Perspectives in Analysis and Probability - Opening Conference

Dates: Monday 8 to Friday 12 April 2013
Location: Rennes
Contact: A. Debussche, F. Malrieu

The recently inaugurated Henri Lebesgue center (Rennes, France) chose to devote his first thematic semester, to be held in spring 2013, to the rich and close links between probability theory, analysis and the study of partial differential equations.

Goal

Dating back to Kolmogorov's construction of probabilistic diffusions from solutions of partial differential equations in the early 30's and the joint development of potential theory and Markov process in the early 50's, Analysis and Probability theory have never ceased their fruitful interactions, feeded by practical problems from physics, engineering, finance and others. The inaugural conference of the semester Perspectives in Analysis and Probability will provide a panorama of this domain of interaction, by gathering top international researchers at the interface of Analysis, Probability theory and Partial Differential Equations.
