Gaussian Measure and Geometric Convexity Sunday, July 18- Friday, July 23, 2004 Sessions start on Sunday and end on Friday. Housing check- out is Saturday. Organizing Committee: Remarkable advances have been made in several areas that involve aspects of Gaussian measure and the theory of convex bodies. The conference will bring together researchers in convex geometry, probability, statistics, and the local/asymptotic theories of Banach spaces to discuss recent results and directions for future research. It is anticipated that this unusual mix of specialties will lead to a useful exchange of ideas. Major themes will be (i) the role of probabilistic methods in understanding properties of convex bodies, especially in high dimensions; and (ii) the application of convex-geometric methods to the study of Gaussian processes. Among the topics will be central limit theorems, concentration of measure, Dvoretzky-type results, isoperimetry and Gaussian inequalities, intrinsic volumes and Gaussian processes, and flag-coefficient renormalization. The list of confirmed participants includes: S. Adeyemi, S. Artstein, K. Ball, I. Barany, F. Barthe, Y. Baryshnikov, J. Bastero, L. Ben-Efraim, J. Bernues, S. Bobkov, A. Colesanti, D.
