Workshop on Interactions between Probability and Functional
Analysis
|
|
|
ORGANIZERS: C.K. Fong, Wojciech Jaworski, Matthias Neufang
|
OVERVIEW
The aim of the workshop is to bring together mathematicians exploring
the interconnections of probability and functional analysis from
various perspectives. This comprises areas such as the following:
- probability in Banach space theory;
- probability in operator space theory;
- non-commutative probability;
- free probability;
- random walks on groups.
LIST OF INVITED SPEAKERS (60 minute lecture):
- Marek Bozejko (University of Wroclaw)
- Miklos Csörgö (Carleton University)
- Thierry Giordano (University of Ottawa) *
- Marius Junge (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign);
- Vadim Kaimanovich (Jacobs University Bremen)
- Arunava Mukherjea (University of South Florida)
- Vladimir Pestov (University of Ottawa)
- Roland Speicher (Queen's University)
- Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann (University of Alberta).
* to be confirmed
In addition, there will be several 30 minute presentations.
