Probability, Geometry and Integrable Systems
For Henry McKean's Seventy-Fifth Birthday
Edited by
Mark Pinsky and
Bj\"orn Birnir
The three main themes of this book&emdash;probability theory, differential
geometry and the theory of integrable systems&emdash;reflect the broad
range of mathematical interests of Henry McKean, to whom it is dedicated.
Written by experts in probability, geometry, integrable systems,
turbulence and percolation, the seventeen papers included here
demonstrate a wide variety of techniques which have been developed to
solve various mathematical problems in these areas. The topics are
often combined in an unusual and interesting fashion to give solutions
outside of the standard methods. The papers contain some exciting
results and offer a guide to the contemporary literature on these
subjects.
