Böcker i Progress in Probability-serien

This volume collects selected papers from the Ninth High Dimensional Probability Conference, held virtually from June 15-19, 2020. These papers cover a wide range of topics and demonstrate how high-dimensional probability remains an active area of research with applications across many mathematical disciplines. Chapters are organized around four general topics: inequalities and convexity; limit theorems; stochastic processes; and high-dimensional statistics. High Dimensional Probability IX will be a valuable resource for researchers in this area.

1 Introduction.- 2 Rational matrices and vector spaces.- 3 Representations of linear time-invariant systems.- 4 Minimality and transformation groups.- 5 Realization in minimal first-order form.- 6 Structural invariants.- 7 Conclusions.

This is a volume in memory of Vladas Sidoravicius who passed away in 2019. Vladas has edited two volumes appeared in this series ("In and Out of Equilibrium") and is now honored by friends and colleagues with research papers reflecting Vladas' interests and contributions to probability theory.

This collection of contributions originates from the well-established conference series "Fractal Geometry and Stochastics" which brings together researchers from different fields using concepts and methods from fractal geometry.Carefully selected papers from keynote and invited speakers are included, both discussing exciting new trends and results and giving a gentle introduction to some recent developments. The topics covered include Assouad dimensions and their connection to analysis, multifractal properties of functions and measures, renewal theorems in dynamics, dimensions and topology of random discrete structures, self-similar trees, p-hyperbolicity, phase transitions from continuous to discrete scale invariance, scaling limits of stochastic processes, stemi-stable distributions and fractional differential equations, and diffusion limited aggregation.Representing a rich source of ideas and a good starting point for more advanced topics in fractal geometry, the volume will appeal to both established experts and newcomers.

This volume collects selected papers from the 8th High Dimensional Probability meeting held at Casa Matematica Oaxaca (CMO), Mexico. High Dimensional Probability (HDP) is an area of mathematics that includes the study of probability distributions and limit theorems in infinite-dimensional spaces such as Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces.

After an introduction reviewing Ron Doney's mathematical achievements and how they have influenced the field, the contributed papers cover both discrete-time processes, including random walks and variants thereof, and continuous-time processes, including Le vy processes and diffusions.

This volume features a collection of contributed articles and lecture notes from the XIII Symposium on Probability and Stochastic Processes, held at UNAM, Mexico, in December 2017.It is split into two main parts: the first one presents lecture notes of the course provided by Mauricio Duarte, followed by its second part which contains research contributions of some of the participants.

The articles in this collection are a sampling of some of the research presented during the conference "Stochastic Analysis and Related Topics", held in May of 2015 at Purdue University in honor of the 60th birthday of Rodrigo Banuelos.

This volume contains the proceedings of the XII Symposium of Probability and Stochastic Processes which took place at Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan in Merida, Mexico, on November 16-20, 2015. This meeting was the twelfth meeting in a series of ongoing biannual meetings aimed at showcasing the research of Mexican probabilists as well as promote new collaborations between the participants.The book features articles drawn from different research areas in probability and stochastic processes, such as: risk theory, limit theorems, stochastic partial differential equations, random trees, stochastic differential games, stochastic control, and coalescence. Two of the main manuscripts survey recent developments on stochastic control and scaling limits of Markov-branching trees, written by Kazutoshi Yamasaki and Bénédicte Haas, respectively. The research-oriented manuscripts provide new advances in active research fields in Mexico.The wide selection of topics makes the book accessible to advanced graduate students and researchers in probability and stochastic processes.

This volume collects selected papers from the 7th High Dimensional Probability meeting held at the Institut d'Études Scientifiques de Cargèse (IESC) in Corsica, France.High Dimensional Probability (HDP) is an area of mathematics that includes the study of probability distributions and limit theorems in infinite-dimensional spaces such as Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. The most remarkable feature of this area is that it has resulted in the creation of powerful new tools and perspectives, whose range of application has led to interactions with other subfields of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. These include random matrices, nonparametric statistics, empirical processes, statistical learning theory, concentration of measure phenomena, strong and weak approximations, functional estimation, combinatorial optimization, and random graphs.The contributions in this volume show that HDP theory continues to thrive and develop new tools, methods, techniques and perspectives to analyze random phenomena.

These include random matrix theory, nonparametric statistics, empirical process theory, statistical learning theory, concentration of measure phenomena, strong and weak approximations, distribution function estimation in high dimensions, combinatorial optimization, and random graph theory.

This book collects significant contributions from the fifth conference on Fractal Geometry and Stochastics held in Tabarz, Germany, in March 2014. The book is divided into five topical sections: geometric measure theory, self-similar fractals and recurrent structures, analysis and algebra on fractals, multifractal theory, and random constructions.

The book is addressed to mathematicians and other scientists who are interested in the mathematical theory concerning: * Fractal sets and measures * Iterated function systems * Random fractals * Fractals and dynamical systems, and * Harmonic analysis on fractals.

A collection of articles written by mathematicians and physicists, designed to describe the state of the art in climate models with stochastic input. Mathematicians will benefit from a survey of simple models, while physicists will encounter mathematically relevant techniques at work.

The conference, which is part of the "Emphasis Year" program traditionally supported by the Mathematics Department, was additionally supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Security Agency, the Institute for Mathematics and Applications, as well as by supplemen tary sources from Northwestern University.

This collection of articles is dedicated to Frank Spitzer on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The articles, written by a group of his friends, colleagues, former students and coauthors, are intended to demonstrate the major influence Frank has had on probability theory for the last 30 years and most likely will have for many years to come.
