Workshop in High-dimensional Phenomena and Convexity
Dates: June 9-13, 2025 (Monday through Friday)
(This drawing is by Itai B.)
The study of high-dimensional phenomena gained popularity in recent decades. Many applications and connections have been established with Computer Science, particularly Learning Theory and Algorithms, as well as other branches of Mathematics and Statistics. Methods from many fields, including Analysis, Probability and Geometry have been successful in harnessing various high-dimensional effects. Convexity properties of measures in high dimension, along with independence, often play a central role. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, Convexity, High-Dimensional Probability, Differential Geometry and other related areas, with the goal fostering collaborations and propelling the knowledge exchange.
The workshop is planned at the kibbutz-resort Nahsholim, where the participants will stay, dine, attend talks and communicate. More practical information will come soon. Schedule and abstracts will be posted later as well.
We expect to cover the participants' accommodatrion and meals at the resort, and we mihgt have some funding for the particpants' travel. We have funding from CMS Technion, NSF, ISF and ESF (Emanuel Science Foundation). The junior participants and those without grants will have priority in terms of funding. Precise information regarding funding will be avaliable at a later date.
A poster session will be held during the workshop, and we encourage junior researchers to attend the workshop and present posters.
Please contact the organizers with any questions!
