Sidoravicius V. (Ed.) Sojourns in Probability Theory and Statistical Physics - II: Brownian Web and Percolation, A Festschrift for Charles M. Newman

Springer, 2019. — 271 p. — (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics 299). — ISBN: 978-981-15-0297-2.Charles M. (Chuck) Newman has been a leader in Probability Theory and Statistical Physics for nearly half a century. This three-volume set is a celebration of the far-reaching scientific impact of his work. It consists of articles by Chuck’s collaborators and colleagues across a number of the fields to which he has made contributions of fundamental significance. This publication was conceived during a conference in 2016 at NYU Shanghai that coincided with Chuck's 70th birthday.The sub-titles of the three volumes are:
I. Spin Glasses and Statistical Mechanics
II. Brownian Web and Percolation
III. Interacting Particle Systems and Random WalksThe articles in these volumes, which cover a wide spectrum of topics, will be especially useful for graduate students and researchers who seek initiation and inspiration in Probability Theory and Statistical Physics.Differential Geometry for Model Independent Analysis of Images and Other Non-Euclidean Data: Recent Developments
