OverviewNew isoperimetric inequalities and random process techniques have recently appeared at the basis of the modern understanding of Probability in Banach spaces. Based on these tools, the book presents a complete treatment of the main aspects of Probability in Banach spaces (e.g. boundedness and continuity of random processes, integrability and limit theorems for vector valued random variables) and of some of their links to Geometry of Banach spaces. Its purpose is to present some of the main aspects of this theory, from the foundations to the latest developments, treated with the most recent and updated tools. In particular, the most important features are the systematic use of isoperimetry and related concentration of measure phenomena (to study integrability and limit theorems for vector valued random variables), and recent abstract random process techniques (entropy and majorizing measures). Some examples of these probabilistic ideas to classical Banach space theory complete this exposition.

Zentralblatt MATH Author InformationMichel Ledoux held first a research position with CNRS, and since 1991 is Professor at the University of Toulouse. He is moreover, since 2010, a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France, having been also a junior member from 1997 to 2002. He has held associate editor appointments for various journals, including the Annals of Probability and Probability Theory and Related Fields (current). His research interests centre on probability, random matrices, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, probability in Banach spaces. Michel Talagrand has held a research position with the CNRS since 1974. His thesis was directed by Gustave Choquet and his interests revolve around the theory of stochastic processes and probability in Banach spaces, as well as the mathematical theory of spin glasses. He was invited to deliver a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1990, and to deliver a plenary lecture at the same congress in 1998. He received the Loeve Prize (1995) and the Fermat Prize (1997) for his work in probability theory. He was elected to the Paris Academy of Sciences in 2004.
