Duration: 2015-07-27 - 2015-08-08 Amount of support requested: 3000 Description: General structure: In the following description, each unit of one hour corresponds to 45-50 minutes of lectures. The event is a two-week programme. The first week is built from four mini-courses. In the second week, half of the week is devoted to topic lectures, the other half of the week is devoted to research seminars from Mongolian participants and other foreign attendees. The four minicourses below will be core of the research school for locals and will offer a basic, but precise introduction to four key areas of current research. Principally they are aimed at Ph.D. students and young researchers as well as researchers wanting to move into these fields. The four very eminent professors delivering these courses have been hand picked for their quality of delivery in order to make the experience as accessible as possible. The most important of these four courses is the first on stochastic calculus and this will receive 8 hours of lecturing whereas the others will receive 6 hours of lecturing. The minicourses follow through naturally into the lectures on research topics. These lectures will build on the minicourses giving further insight into current research areas of interest. Each of the six topics will receive two lectures. Unlike the mini-courses, topics lectures will attempt to give a more panoramic view of the broader research field associated to the material covered in the minicourses. There will be careful coordination between topic lecturers and mini-course lecturers to give a sense of continuity. An additional 16 hours will be set aside for seminars, to be given by local, regional and other participants. An attempt will be made to align seminars with the main themes of the mini-courses and topics lectures, although a much broader selection of topics is anticipated here as well as taking care to represent current Mongolian research interests. Mini-courses (total 24 hrs): 1. Introductory stochastic calculus and applications. 8 hours. (Prof. Maria-Emilia Caballero) This course will give an introduction to the theory of stochastic calculus and will serve as a foundation for the other mini-courses. The course will introduce Brownian motion as a Markov process and focus largely on the construction of the Brownian integral and its associated Ito calculus. En route examples of where stochastic calculus is important will be mentioned, leaving open the possibility for further discussion with students during the research school. The course will conclude with some attention given to the case of Lévy processes and the generalization of Ito’s calculus for this class of processes. 2. Fragmentation-coalescence models and applications in mining and biology. 6 hours. (Prof. Jean Bertoin) The basic concept of exchangeable partitions of the natural numbers is introduced and how this plays

a fundamental role in building Markov processes that are valued in the space of such partitions. The case of fragmentation and coalescent processes are developed with focus on their applications. In the case of fragmentation processes, applications in the mining industry are mentioned. In the case of coalescent processes, connections with modelling genetic diversification are mentioned. 3. Introductory models in mathematical finance. 6 hours. (Prof. Ernst Eberlein) This course will provide a rapid introduction into classical Black-Scholes theory and its deficiencies.. The course will then move on to discussing a more modern perspective on financial modeling, drawing attention to the large variety in different types of financial contracts as well as the rich family of “off-the-shelf” stochastic processes and statistical methods, which are used to model such pricing scenarios. The ideology of using mathematics to establish “fair pricing” and giving a quantitative perspective to “risk exposure” will be central to the presentation. This course will be aimed equally at analysts from the several large banks in Mongolia as much as academic participants. 4. Stochastic control theory. 6 hours. (Prof. Bernt Oksendal) Building on the first course on stochastic analysis, this course will introduce some basic principles of optimal stochastic control theory in the setting of models driven by Brownian motion and, more generally, Lévy processes. Two main solution methods will be presented, namely (i) the stochastic maximum principle and (ii) dynamic programming and the HJB equation. Applications that are of pertinence to mathematical finance will also be discussed, for example the problem of optimal portfolio choice and risk minimization in a financial market. Topic lectures (total 16 hrs): • Prof. Amaury Lambert (Paris VI and Collège de France): Stochastic evolutionary Biology • Dr. Erik Baurdoux (London School of Economics, UK) : Optimal stopping theory and applications • Prof. Andreas Kyprianou (University of Bath, UK) : Lévy processes and positive self-similar Markov processes • Dr. Juan Carlos Pardo (CIMAT, Mexico) : Additional topics in stochastic analysis • Dr. Christina Goldschmidt (Oxford University, UK) : Combinatorial stochastic processes • Dr. Lea Popovic (Concordia, Canada) : Markov models in systems biology Research Seminars (total 16 hrs): The final list of speakers will be determined in due course.. Significant initial interest has been expressed from local participants in both Ulan Batar and Darkhan as well as from individuals in Europe, Indonesia, China and Japan. Prof. Lkhamsuren will speak and, together with Prof. Tsedendamba, will help select speakers from Mongolia, with representation from the National University of Mongolia and the Mongolian University of Science and Technology.

Letter of request: This workshop is the progression of an event which took place in August 2012. Dr. Baurdoux (London School of Economics, UK) and Prof. Kyprianou (University of Bath, UK) gave a minicourse in the summer of 2012 at the School of Mathematics and Computer Science, establishing good links with Prof. A. Lkhamsuren, Prof. S. Tsedendamba, Prof. T. Saizmaa and Prof. B. Bazarragchaa. This course (binomial pricing theory in mathematical finance) was well attended by both academics and employees at local banks. Since the fall of communism in the 1990s, Mongolia has been through a drastic transformation, both socially and economically. Only recently, in the last 5-10 years, has the economy began to rapidly pick up pace, largely due to significant investment in the Mongolian mining industry and the exploitation of natural resources. Accordingly, as national wealth has increased per capita, there has been a natural shift towards higher standards of education and a greater development of the national intellectual capacity, with a view to feedback into the socio-economic fabric of the Mongolian state. Historically, the Mongolian mathematics community had strong contacts with the former USSR, in particular Moscow and Novosibirsk. With the collapse of communism, there is a genuine need for the Mongolian mathematical community to diversify its portfolio of international contacts and research collaborations in order to keep pace with the rapid change in national development, as well as the general rapid pace of global scientific evolution. To date, there has been a gradual flow of Mongolian mathematics students returning from The West, educated to the level of Ph.D. However, it is important that Mongolia both maintains and develops strong contact with the international community of mathematicians as a means of enhancing its research strengths. An event such as the one we are proposing here can serve as an invaluable point of research contact and future collaborative scientific networking. This is especially the case when the School of Mathematics and Computer Science at the National University of Mongolia sees stochastics as a priority area for research development. Following informal consultation with members of the Institute of Mathematics at the National University of Mongolia as well as colleagues in both Europe as well (as in the Far East) with regard to their willingness to participate in such a workshop, it has been found there is genuine enthusiasm to engage with such an event. The idea of this workshop will be to have four key minicourses, a variety of topics lectures and selected research seminars around the topic of stochastic analysis and its applications, aimed predominantly at the younger community of researchers in Mongolia, Eastern Siberia, South Korea, North Korea, Japan, Kazakhstan, Northern China and to a lesser extent, South-East Asia. This will be spread over 2 weeks and hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the Mongolian National University in central Ulan Bator.

The School of Mathematics and Computer Science at the The National University of Mongolia has had a growing interest in stochastic analysis and its applications. Very recently at the NUM, there has been a move towrads curriculum unification, new academic structure as well as curriculum development. According to this new approach, stochastics will be given high importance and developed as a separate unit at the School of Mathematics and Computer Science (SMCS), which requires initiation and development of a new core curriculum of stochastics and some narrower curricula with/within this field.. Coupled with statistical applications, this theme is currently seen as a priority by the faculty. Approximately 25 individuals are expected to attend from Mongolia, the vast majority of which are young researchers. There will be heavy attendance from the two main universities in Ulan Bator as well as some attendance from the Agricultural University in Darkhan (a city to the north of Ulan Bator). A particular effort will be made to encourage talented masters students from state universities outside of the capital to attend. Based on the lectures given by Dr. Baurdoux and Prof. Kyprianou in 2012, a significant presence is also expected from analysts working at local banks. (Approximately 7 attended in 2012). The vast majority of these employees have themselves recently graduated from SMCS. An effort will be made to encourage attendance from Inner Mongolia and North-West China, Central Asia (particularly Kazakhstan) and Siberian Russia (eg from Irkuksk, Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk) as well as North Korea and South-East Asia. There has been broad consultation by Prof. Kyprianou in Europe following his lectures in 2012, and there has been a very enthusiastic reception to the idea of a workshop in Mongolia amongst European, Chinese and Japanese academics. It is expected (and has already been confirmed) that many would pay from their own grants to attend. This constitutes an excellent research networking opportunity for the local community in Mongolia, which we would expect will have significant follow-through after the workshop. Currently there is liason with Prof. Yanxia Ren at the mathematics department in Peking University, who has agreed to attend the conference and assist in putting together a Chinese delegation from Beijing. Similarly Dr. Kazutoshi Yamazaki at Kansai University has agreed to champion the awareness of this workshop in Japan. A similar champion will be sought for Korea, Russia and Khazakstan. Prof. Andreas Kyprianou is also managing the facebook usergroup page, which reports regularly on the progress of this project. This facebook page has a remarkable current following of over 200 members, signifying the extent of the genuine interest in this event, notably amongst younger mathematicians. We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to create connectivity for the Mongolian community of mathematicians with a view to long-term enhancement of their academic development.

1.4. Letter of request - Please write your letter requesting CDC support:

Dear Commission for Developing Countries,

Because your Institution has a strong commitment to support research in developing countries and the participation of mathematicians of these in conferences taking place in developed countries, as organizers we are writing you to request support for participants from developing countries to attend the satellite conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2014.

Our conference is titled:

``Holomorphic Dynamics in One and Several Variables''

and will take place in Gyeong-Ju, Korea from August 23 -- August 26, 2014

We hope that the Commission for Developing Countries will be able to assist us with supporting this event.

We have applied to NSF to obtain support for young researchers and graduate students affiliated to Universities or Colleges in the US, and we have been informally told that our proposal has been recommended for approval. However because of the nature of NSF support, they can not provide funding for senior researchers or for researchers from outside USA.

We have applied to the Clay Mathematics Institute for support for senior researchers invited to speak or participate in our satellite conference, and we are still waiting to hear from them. However, CMI tends to prefer to support senior researchers.

A major purpose in organizing the satellite conference is to give exposure of the field of holomorphic dynamics in one and several variables globally, especially to researchers in developing countries where access to new ideas in the field is limited. Thus, we are in urgent need of obtaining support for such researchers and graduate students. We hope the Commission for Developing Countries will be able to help us out with this.

We have approached other organizations, such as the Simons Foundation, to help us support such participants, but they replied that they do not have an established program for such activities. We are not sure where else to look for support, and would appreciate any help you can give us.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Araceli Bonifant and Scott Sutherland.

1.5. Description/Explanation - This description/explanation must also include a detailed scientific program [including organization of the conference: plenary lectures, parallel sessions, etc.], a list of invited speakers [specifically those who have accepted to attend the conference: Name-University-Country], and details of the relevance of the conference for neighboring countries and on the participation of the mathematicians thereof.

Project Title: Holomorphic Dynamics in One and Several Variables (Satellite Conference to ICM 2014)

We are organizing a satellite conference to the ICM in Seoul, Korea focusing on the area of Complex Dynamics in One and Several Variables. This is an exciting and vibrant field of mathematics, but much of the activity centers primarily among a few groups of researchers in the US and France. Our aim is to help give this field broader exposure to researchers attending the ICM, especially younger researchers working in Asia and developing countries, and extend and enhance connections and exposure to the world community.

Holomorphic dynamics is, and has been since the early 1980s an active area of research. The rich amount of connections between this and other areas of mathematics such as complex analysis in one and several variables, topology, algebraic geometry, probability and ergodic theory, number theory, physics, Kleinian groups, Teichmuller theory, hyperbolic and complex geometry, etc., makes its study hard but at the same time very attractive. Holomorphic dynamics has had the privilege of having among those working on the subject, some Fields medalists. Among those we can cite: John Milnor, Bill Thurston, Curtis McMullen and Jean-Christophe Yoccoz. However there is concern about the number of young mathematicians interested in its study. The approval to this project will allow ``Holomorphic Dynamics'' by means of a Satellite conference organized towards the end of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul, Korea in 2014 to be present in the international frame.

INTELECTUAL MERIT:

The main objectives of the conference are:

1). To foster interaction among researchers in holomorphic dynamics mainly between American and Korean mathematicians, but also between all those interested in the subject attending the International Meeting of Mathematicians, to take place in Seoul in 2014.

2). To use these interactions for designing new mathematical tools that can aid in the progress in holomorphic dynamics, especially in understanding and building models of multi-dimensional parameter spaces.

3). To involve graduate students and younger researchers of different countries into discussions with mathematicians from other parts of the world. This interaction will be beneficial for their scientific growth, and will inject new fresh ideas into the field.

4). To foster the creation of new mathematical collaboration between mathematicians from different parts of the world.

BROADER IMPACTS AND PROPOSED ACTIVITIES:

Given the great amount of research that is there to be done in complex dynamics in one and higher dimensions, and to the existing interest in Korea in the study of several complex variables, it is important to bring to the Korean forum as well as to the International forum this important area of research with some many connections with several complex variables. It is our belief that such interaction will be of great benefit to all involved.

The conference will be held from August 23 through mid-day of August 26 (3 and one half days) at Kolon Hotel in Gyeoung-ju, Korea. Our co-organizer in Korea will be Dr. Taeyong Ahn, who works in holomorphic dynamics in higher dimensions, with support from the Chair of his Institute Professor Kang-tae Kim and Professor Xianghong Gong from University of Wisconsin, who is presently visiting POSTECH.

Since the conference is organized towards the end of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul, Korea from August 13 - August 21, 2014, we expect to have a good number of young researchers and graduate students from Korea, the US, developing countries and other parts of the world.

TENTATIVE LIST OF SPEAKERS:

Speakers marked with * have already confirmed their participation in the Conference. We are also planning to have four to six 30-40 minute talks from young researchers. We expect attendance of graduate students, young researchers, and senior mathematicians who are not listed here but will be attending the International Congress.

As mentioned above, a major purpose in organizing the satellite conference is to give exposure of the field of holomorphic dynamics in one and several variables globally, especially to researchers in developing countries where access to new ideas in the field is limited. Thus, we are in urgent need of obtaining support for such researchers and graduate students. We hope the Commission for Developing Countries will be able to help us out with this.

At this point we do not have the list of participants from developing countries attending our conference, but we have been told by the Organizing Committee of Satellite Conferences of the ICM that a big number of participants of developing countries apply for support to attend these conferences. We would like to be able to support the participation of at least 20 of them.

The process of dissemination of the conference will be via a conference poster sent to a number of universities in the US and abroad, as well as promotional emails. The conference is advertised on the web page of Satellite Conferences of the ICM 2014, and it will also be advertised on the web page of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at Stony Brook.

We will invite graduate students and young researchers to send us their applications via email and we will accept the applications of those graduate students and researchers for whom we believe participation in this conference would be most beneficial. In the case of graduate students, a letter of recommendation of the advisor will be required.

The Isfahan Mathematics House has already organized workshops on such thematics.

Letter of request: Dear Grant Selection Committee, In the spirit of scholarship and international relations, California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) is hosting the first USA-Uzbekistan Conference on Analysis and Mathematical Physics (US-UZ CAMP) May 20-23, 2014. The primary goal of the conference is to stimulate future interactions among the U.S. researchers in Analysis and Mathematical Physics and their counterparts in Uzbekistan and other countries, and serve as a catalyst for future collaborations that promote, encourage and engage women, students and junior mathematicians from under-represented groups, as well as developing countries. The US-UZ CAMP will center on the following main themes: (1) Dynamical Systems; (2) Geometric Function Theory; (3) Schrodinger Operators; (4) Spectral Theory of Differential Operators; (5) Operator Algebras; and (6) Several Complex Variables. These areas are currently the focus of research by a wide range of mathematicians around the world. We respectfully request funding to help provide living expenses and partially support travel expenses of 30 participants from Uzbekistan and other developing countries, with special emphasis on graduate students and early-career mathematicians who have no alternative source of funding to attend the conference. We expect participants from a wide variety of colleges and universities from all over the world. The principal investigator will seek to identify members of groups under-represented in mathematics and those coming from developing countries who will benefit from attending this conference. The National Science Foundation recently awarded CSUF with a grant (DMS – 1401316) to help fund travel and living expenses for some of our participants. Support from the Commission for Developing Countries will ensure that those graduate students and early-career mathematicians who wish to attend US-UZ CAMP will have that opportunity.

ResearchExperience

My research interests lie at the intersection of Geometric Function Theory, Geo-metric Group Theory and Analysis on Metric Spaces, which are very active andrapidly developing areas of Analysis and Geometry. The focus of my currentresearch is to study quasi-symmetric and quasi-conformal mappings on fractalspaces using the methods of large-scale geometry. In my research I developed anew method to hyperbolize fractal spaces and using this method I was able tosolve some open problems in these areas. Fractals (e.g. Brownian motion, growthof plants, geographical coastlines) arise in many branches of science and engineer-ing, where systems modeling natural phenomena are studied. Consequently, myresearch has potential applications in these branches as well. I engage manyundergraduate students in my research. Most of my students have presentedtheir work in local and regional conferences as well as in the Analysis Seminar atCSUF. I have co-authored two papers jointly with my students ([20], [22]).

A. G. Aksoy, “Approximation Schemes, Related s-numbers and Applications.”

b. Masters Thesis:

A. G. Aksoy, “Subspaces of Nuclear Fréchet Spaces.”

c. Books:

A. G. Aksoy and M. A. Khamsi, Nonstandard Methods in Fixed Point Theory, Springer-Verlag, Universitext

Series, 1990.

The aim of this book is to give a unified account of the major new developments inspired by Maurey's

application of Banach space ultra products to the fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings. The first

third of the book is devoted to laying a careful foundation for the actual fixed point theoretic results which

follow. Set theoretic and Banach space ultraproducts construction are studied in detail in the second part

of the book, while the remainder of the book gives an introduction to the classical fixed point theory in

addition to a discussion of normal structure. This is the first book that studies classical fixed point theory

for nonexpansive maps from the view of nonstandard methods.

A. G. Aksoy and M. A. Khamsi, A Problem Book in Real Analysis, Springer-Verlag, Problem Books in

Mathematics, 2009.

The aim of this book is to teach Analysis through problem solving. It includes topics on: Logic and Set

Theory, Real Numbers, Sequences, Limits of Functions, Continuity, Differentiability, Integration, Series,

Metric Spaces, Fundamentals of Topology, Sequences and Series of Functions.

http://www.cimpa-icpam.org/spip.php?article510

http://math.univ-lille1.fr/~bhowmik/cimpa/CIMPA_Shillong.html

The CIMPA Research School in Shillong in 2013 started at the ini-tiative of Gautami Bhowmik, who is originally from Shillong. She has longstanding contacts and collaboration with the mathematicians from this uni-versity, and it is fitting that she organized such a research school.

The organization was very good, from the scientific point of view as wellas from the local one. Initially, it was planed that the school would takeplace in the Department of Mathematics, but due to some renovation works,it was moved to the building of ICSSR-NERC (Indian Council of Social Sci-ence Research, North-East Regional Centre), which turned out to be moreconvenient, very close to the Guest House where all the non local participantswere accommodated. The internet connection in the hall of the guest housewas reasonably fast, and there were not too many break down. In this regionof North East India (Meghalaya), there is so far no agreement with foreignproviders for cell phones. The room of the lectures, which was used also for theopening ceremony, had the right size and the necessary equipment, for greenboard lectures as well as for beamer presentations. In fact, most courses weregiven with the green board, which is more suitable for courses. The meals (atthe guest house for breakfast and dinner, at the conference center for lunchand tea breaks) were taken together among lecturers and participants.

There were several open problems sessions as well as tutorials. The levelof the participants was uneven, but in general, they already knew at leastsomething on some of the topics and their reactions were positive. Some of

0

them were very enthusiastic about this school. The website in Lille hosted thenotes of the courses that the participants could download; they were offeredto get also had copy at the beginning of the two weeks and many of themselected this option.

The number of participants from India was roughly the expected one. Dur-ing most of the courses, the number of people present in the room was above30. However, unfortunately, there were only two foreign participants. Alto-gether, there were only 24 applications from candidates outside India, all ofthem were selected, including 18 with a financial support. Among them, 11confirmed their participation. Among the 11 candidates who confirmed, threewere from Pakistan, only one of them wrote to the organizers telling themthat he did not get his visa. It is likely that this is the same for the two othersfrom Pakistan. Hence, 6 applicants who were supported and confirmed theywill come, finally did not come, without informing the organizers; this is nota good behavior. The two foreign participants who attended were Indonesianladies who faced some difficulty at the border, when they expected to get avisa on arrival, but mentioned that they were coming to India for a conference:only tourist visa can be delivered on arrival for visitors from Indonesia. Theywere asked to go to Kuala Lumpur and bought air tickets, but thanks to theefficient and immediate action of Himadri Mukherjee, they did not need toleave Kolkata and got their visa on time for the start of the school.

There were three courses on Discrete Fourier Analysis, two on Graph The-ory, two on Analytic Number Theory and one on Quantum Factorization asan example of an application. In general, the courses were prepared to beaccessible to non-experts and most of the audience seemed to be satisfied atthe end of the school. The lecturers were quite happy with the response thatthey received at the tutorials (one for every course).

During the week-end, an excursion was organized to Cherrapunjee, whichis 60 kms away from Shillong. The conference provided a bus for the day trip.Those who stayed overnight for a trek to two of the Living Root Bridges paidfor their expenses themselves and the arrangements were done non-officiallyby one of the organizers . The walks were a little difficult for the uninitiatedbut certainly a memorable experience for all.

On the 28th November, a dinner followed by a film on Meghalaya wasorganized, to which members of the faculty and their families were invited.

After the last talk certificates of participation were distributed.Congratulations and thanks to Gautami Bhowmik and Himadri Murkher-

jee for the success of this school and for the excellent job they did.

Appendix: visits to the University of Manipur on November 14 and theUniversity of Tezpur on November 15, 2013.

I arrived in India on November 12, the CIMPA Research School startedonly on November 18. I took this opportunity to visit the French Embassy onNovember 13, the University of Manipur on November 14 and the Universityof Tezpur on November 15. In each of these two universities I gave a lecture onthe abc Conjecture and each time more than 70 students attended my talk andasked a number of questions. My visit to Manipur University was organizedat the initiative of Shanta Laishram (IIT Delhi). I was received by M. RanjitSingh. It was one of the shortest visit of mine so far to a University, sinceI reached Imphal airport at 9:30 am coming from Delhi, and I left Imphalairport the same afternoon at 3:30 pm for Guwahati. My visit of TezpurUniversity originated from my meetings, first with Manjil Pratim Saikia, thenwith Nayandeep Deka Baruah, during the International Conference on theLegacy of Ramanujan in December 2012. Manjil received me at the Guwahatiairport and accompanied me to Tezpur on November 14. In spite of the factthat November 15 was a religious holiday, the program took place as scheduled,with many students who participated. I am thankful to these colleagues fortheir warm welcome.
