A central limit theorem for convex bodies
Colloquium| Speaker: | Bo’az Klartag, Princeton University |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, May 27 2008, 4:10PM |
We review recent advances in our understanding of probability measures with geometric characteristics on R^n, for large n. These advances include the central limit theorem for convex sets, according to which the uniform measure on a high-dimensional convex body has marginals that are approximately gaussian.
Refreshments will be served in MSB 1147 15-20 min before the seminar
