Welcome

This is the first issue of the second volume of the MaPhySto Newsletter. The first volume of the newsletter was published both on the web (can be found under the old pages here at the bottom of the list) and in paper form. The second volume will be published only on the web. We plan to publish the newsletter four times a year.

About MaPhySto

The abbreviation MaPhySto stands for The Danish National Research Foundation: Network in Mathematical Physics and Stochastics. It is a continuation of the Centre for Mathematical Physics and Stochastics, funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, for the period April 1, 1998 to March 31, 2003. Currently the Network is funded from April 1, 2003 until June 30, 2006.

During the Centre period the the Scientific Director was Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen, University of Aarhus. From April 1, 2003, the Scientific Director is Arne Jensen from Aalborg University.

The purpose of the MaPhySto Network is to carry out research in selected areas of Mathematical Physics and Stochastics, and the interplay between these two. A more detailed description, including a list of principal investigators, can be found here.
