The school on probability theory was held from 17 to 29 August. Students and young researchers from different cities of Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan attended a course on stochastic differential equations read by professor Alexander Yuryevich Veretennikov of the Higher School of Economics and professor Daria Lukyanova of the University of Evry (France), and an introductory course on the theory of large deviations by Artyom Vasilyevich Logachev, a research fellow of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok. As a follow-up to the lectures and seminars, the students went over the material they had learned. Seminars on stochastic differential equations were conducted by a young scientist Maria Aleksandrovna Veretennikova from the University of Warwick (Great Britain).
The first part of the school was devoted to stochastic differential equations and coverd the following topics:
During the second part of the school, the students got started with the theory of large deviations and its applications to stochastic differential equations, namely:
The school was supported by the Mathematical center in Akademgorodok.
One of the participants of the school, a 4th year undergraduate student of department of Mechanics and Mathematics of the NSU Timur Ruslanovich Kusnatdinov , shared his impressions:
In addition to the traditional lessons in the form of lectures and seminars, course participants gathered to discuss the concepts introduced and the theorems proved. The purpose of these meetings was to gain a deeper understanding of the material. Perhaps, it was this part of the program that was most interesting, thanks to inquisitive and active colleagues, to whom I鈥檓 giving special thanks.
I would like to thank all the organizers of the Probability school鈥攅specially Tesemnikov Pavel Igorevich鈥攆or their efforts in delivering the lectures, managing the follow-up on these lectures andrecording these lectures on video. I would like to specially thank the lecturers for their time and effort on teaching these courses to us. I can say that the material was rather difficult, but presented in an accessible and interesting form.
