High dimensional convex bodies: phenomena, intuitions and results
- Date: 12/01/2006
Lecturer(s):
Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann (University of Alberta)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of fields of
mathematics and related fields of science, dealing with functions of
infinitely growing number of variables and with objects that are
determined by infinitely growing number of parameters. In this talk we
trace these phenomena in linear-metric, geometric and some
combinatorial structure of high-dimensional convex bodies. We shall
concentrate this presentation on very recent results in Asymptotic
Geometric Analysis.
