Gaussian Processes on Trees

Anton Bovier is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Bonn. He is the author of more than 130 scientific papers and two monographs, Statistical Mechanics of Disordered Systems: A Mathematical Perspective (Cambridge, 2006) and Metastability: A Potential-Theoretic Approach (with Frank den Hollander, 2016). Bovier is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and a member of the Clusters of Excellence, The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and ImmunoSensation, both at the University of Bonn.

'The text is a very well-written presentation of the motivations and recent developments in the study of the extreme process of the BBM. This provides a perfect guide for any researcher interested in this field, especially those who are looking for a relatively quick introduction.' Bastien Mallein, Mathematical Reviews
