AG Stochastics

Stochastics working group

The Stochastics group focuses on the following topics:

  • Combinatorics of random polytopes and random mosaics
  • mobile networks and random graphs
  • limit theorems for Poisson's point processes
  • large and moderate deviations
  • Characterization of finite additive mass (evaluations)

The research group is responsible for the projects
"Random Lattice Polytopes" in the DFG-SPP 2458  Combinatorial Synergies, and
 "Algebraic and Metric Properties of Random Geometric Graphs and Complexes" (PDF, 1.21 MB) and
 Fine Asymptotics in Models of Statistical Mechanics in the DFG-SPP 2265  Random Geometric Systems

In teaching, we mainly supervise courses in the fields of probability theory, statistics and actuarial mathematics. With regard to statistics, we refer to the homepage of the Interdepartmental Interest Group Statistics and the courses listed there.

Final theses

We recommend attending lectures and seminars in the fields of stochastics and geometry as preparation for final theses. A study project close to the planned topic is also a helpful introduction to the final thesis. Attendance at the advanced seminar of our working group is desired, where a presentation on the topic of the thesis is expected.
We supervise bachelor theses in the following areas:

  • Geometric properties of Poissonian point processes
  • Stochastic geometry: random mosaics and polytopes
  • Stochastic optimization
  • Actuarial mathematics
  • Convex and integral geometry
  • Random graphs
  • ...

We supervise master theses in the following subject areas:

  • Stochastic geometry: random mosaics and polytopes
  • Stochastic analysis for Poissonian point processes
  • Geometric limit theorems
  • Stochastic processes: Brownian motion, Markov processes, point processes
  • Random fractals
  • Convex and integral geometry
  • ad-hoc networks
  • Random graphs
  • Mobile ad-hoc networks
  • ...
