Fitzsimmons T. M. Liggett S. C. Port Los Angeles, 1991 In Memory of Steven Orey M. CRANSTON The mathematical community has lost a cherished colleague with the passing of Steven Orey. This unique and thoughtful man has left those who knew him with many pleasant memories. He has also left us with important contributions in the development of the theory of Markov processes. As a friend and former student, I wish to take this chance to recall to those who know and introduce to those who do not a portion of his lifework.

Book Description

The 1989 Seminar on Stochastic Processes was held at the University of California at San Diego onMarch 30,31 and April1, 1989. This was the ninth in an annual series of meetings which provide researchers with the opportunity to discuss current work on stochastic processes in an informal and enjoyable atmosphere. Previous seminars were held at Princeton University, Northwestern University, the University of Florida and the University of Virginia. The seminar has grown over the years, with a total of seventy-five participants in1989. Following the successful format of previous years, there were five invited lectures, deliveredby K.L. Chung, D. Dawson, R. Durrett, N. Ikeda and T. Lyons, with the remainder of time being devoted to structured, but less formal, discussions on current work and problems. Several smaller groups also held workshop sessions on specific topics such as: mper-processes, diffusionson fractals and Harnack inequalities. The participants' interest and enthusiasm created a lively and stimulating environment for the seminar. A sample of the research discussed there is contained in this volume. The 1989 Seminar was made possible by thesupport of the National Science Foundation, the National Security Agency and the University of California at San Diego. We extend our thanks to them, and to the publisher Birkhauser Boston, for their support and encouragement. Finally, thanks go to Lynn Williams for her cheerful assistance with the seminar organization and production of this volume. P.J. Fitzsimmons R.J. Williams La Jolla,1989. LIST OF PARTICIPANTS: P.

Following the successful format of previous years, there were five invited lectures, delivered by M. Marcus, M. Vor, D. Nualart, M. Freidlin and L. C. G. Rogers, with the remainder of the time being devoted to informal communications and workshops on current work and problems. The enthusiasm and interest of the participants created a lively and stimulating atmosphere for the seminar. A sample of the research discussed there is contained in this volume.

Book Description

During the of Fall 1991, The Centre de Recerca Matematica, a research institute sponsored by the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, devoted a quarter to the study of stochastic analysis. Prominent workers in this field visited the Center from all over the world for periods ranging from a few days to several weeks. To take advantage of the presence in Barcelona of so many special ists in stochastic analysis, we organized a workshop on the subject in Sant Feliu de Guixols (Girona) that provided an opportunity for them to ex change information and ideas about their current work. Topics discussed included: Analysis on the Wiener space, Anticipating Stochastic Calculus and its Applications, Correlation Inequalities, Stochastic Flows, Reflected Semimartingales, and others. This volume contains a refereed selection of contributions from some of the participants in this workshop. We are deeply indebted to the authors of the articles for these exposi tions of their valuable research contributions. We also would like to thank all the referees for their helpful advice in making the volume a reflection of the dynamic interchange that characterized the workshop. The success of the Seminar was due essentially to the enthusiasm and stimulating discus sions of all the participants in an informal and pleasant atmosphere. To all of them our warm gratitude.

Book Description

Onishchik, A. A. Kirillov, and E. B. Vinberg, who obtained their first results on Lie groups in Dynkin's seminar. At a later stage, the work of the seminar was greatly enriched by the active participation of 1. 1. Pyatetskii Shapiro. As already noted, Dynkin started to work in probability as far back as his undergraduate studies. In fact, his first published paper deals with a problem arising in Markov chain theory. The most significant among his earliest probabilistic results concern sufficient statistics. In [15] and [17], Dynkin described all families of one-dimensional probability distributions admitting non-trivial sufficient statistics. These papers have considerably influenced the subsequent research in this field. But Dynkin's most famous results in probability concern the theory of Markov processes. Following Kolmogorov, Feller, Doob and Ito, Dynkin opened a new chapter in the theory of Markov processes. He created the fundamental concept of a Markov process as a family of measures corresponding to var ious initial times and states and he defined time homogeneous processes in terms of the shift operators ()t.

Book Description

This volume has been created in honor of the seventieth birthday of Ted Harris, which was celebrated on January 11th, 1989. The papers rep resent the wide range of subfields of probability theory in which Ted has made profound and fundamental contributions. This breadth in Ted's research complicates the task of putting together in his honor a book with a unified theme. One common thread noted was the spatial, or geometric, aspect of the phenomena Ted investigated. This volume has been organized around that theme, with papers covering four major subject areas of Ted's research: branching processes, percola tion, interacting particle systems, and stochastic flows. These four topics do not· exhaust his research interests; his major work on Markov chains is commemorated in the standard technology "Harris chain" and "Harris recurrent" . The editors would like to take this opportunity to thank the speakers at the symposium and the contributors to this volume. Their enthusi astic support is a tribute to Ted Harris. We would like to express our appreciation to Annette Mosley for her efforts in typing the manuscripts and to Arthur Ogawa for typesetting the volume. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the National Science Foundation and the University of South ern California for their financial support.
