Description

 

The conference, in honour of Sergey Bobkov, aims at gathering international experts and young researchers on the topics of interest and predilection developed by Sergey Bobkov over the years. These topics include convex geometry and high-dimensional analysis, isoperimetric, concentration and functional inequalities, mass transportation, information theory, Boolean analysis, Markov chains and graphs, rates of convergence in central limit theorems, and more. The workshop will be the opportunity to expose the framework and issues of the current research in these areas, with both synthetic presentations and latest achievements, such as the Kannan-Lovasz-Simonovits and hyperplane conjectures, convex bodies and information inequalities, optimal matching and rates of convergence of empirical measures, discrete geometry and analysis, normal approximation of weighted sums, local and randomized central limit theorems...
