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 will cover the participants' accommodatrion and meals at the resort, and we will have some funding for the particpants' travel; exact amount will be confirmed with everyone individually. 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. We expect to be able to contribute or cover travel of everyone who needs it.
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!
