Randomness online

EIMI will host an international online school “Randomness online”, November 4 – 8, 2020.

This is an introductory online school for the EIMI thematic program “New Trends in Mathematical Stochastics” to be held in St. Petersburg in 2021 (rescheduled from 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic). The aim of the school is to introduce young researchers to several important topics in stochastic geometry and probability theory including random polytopes, random matrices, and floating bodies. Senior researchers interested in learning these topics are also welcome.

The school is supposed to consist of 3 courses 4 lectures each. The tentative lecture courses are:

• Random polytopes, Zakhar Kabluchko (University of Münster)
• Random matrices, Manjunath Krishnapur (Indian Institute of Science)
• Floating body, Approximation by polytopes and Data depth, Elisabeth Werner (Case Western Reserve University)
