Gaussian Processes on Trees - From Spin Glasses to Branching Brownian Motion

Informationen zum Autor Anton Bovier is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Bonn. He is the author of more than 130 scientific papers and two monographs, Statistical Mechanics of Disordered Systems: A Mathematical Perspective (Cambridge, 2006) and Metastability: A Potential-Theoretic Approach (with Frank den Hollander, 2016). Bovier is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and a member of the Clusters of Excellence, The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and ImmunoSensation, both at the University of Bonn. Klappentext This book presents recent advances in branching Brownian motion from the perspective of extreme value theory and statistical physics, for graduates. Zusammenfassung Branching Brownian motion is a key model at the crossroads of value statistics for Gaussian processes! statistical physics! and non-linear partial differential equations. This book gives a concise introduction for graduate students and researchers leading up to the most recent developments in this active area of research. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
