The Institute of Science and Technology (IST), Austria, is a young research institution near Vienna. Its graduate school is looking for qualified applicants for Ph.D studies in all areas of mathematics and its applications. We provide excellent research environment and full financial support. Two professors present their research areas and possible projects for perspective Ph.D. students.
Jan Maas: Optimal transport in analysis and probability The problem of optimal transport is a classical optimisation problem on the optimal allocation of resources. Surprisingly, this problem plays a crucial role in recent mathematical work at the interface of analysis, probability, and geometry, revealing beautiful connections between these areas. The talk will provide a glimpse into this active research area.
Laszlo Erdos: Random matrices How do eigenvalues of typical large matrices look like? How do energy levels of large quantum systems behave? In fact, there is universal behaviour that provides the same answer to both questions. Since Eugene Wigner’s visionary discovery of the universality of spectral statistics, random matrices represent a fascinating research area in probability theory and mathematical physics.
