PhD position in mathematics at the University of Iceland

Applications are invited for a three year PhD position in mathematics at the University of Iceland with a starting date in Fall 2018. The position is funded by a grant from the Icelandic Research Fund. The successful candidate will work in the area of probabilistic combinatorics with emphasis on scaling limits of random graphs, statistical […]

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Hermann Þórisson Titill: On the Skorohod Representation Staðsetning: Naustið, Tæknigarði Tími: Þriðjudaginn 11. október kl. 12:30-14:00 Ágrip: According to the Skorohod representation theorem, convergence in distribution to a limit in a separable set is equivalent to the existence of a coupling with elements converging a.s. in the metric. A density analogue
