The intended reader of the book is a graduate student with a background in probability theory who wants to learn about the fundamental results and methods of this rapidly emerging field of research. The model was introduced by Sznitman in 2007 in order to describe the local picture left by the trace of a random walk on a large discrete torus when it runs up to times proportional to the volume of the torus. Random interlacements is a new percolation model on the d-dimensional lattice. The main results covered by the book include the full proof of the local convergence of random walk trace on the torus to random interlacements and the full proof of the percolation phase transition of the vacant set of random interlacements in all dimensions. The reader will become familiar with the techniques relevant to working with the underlying Poisson Process and the method of multi-scale renormalization, which helps in overcoming the challenges posed by the long-range correlations present in the model. The aim is to engage the reader in the world of random interlacements by means of detailed explanations, exercises and heuristics. Each chapter ends with short survey of related results with up-to date pointers to the literature.SpringerBriefs in Mathematics,2191-8198ProbabilitiesOperations researchManagement scienceApplied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsProbability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Operations Research, Management Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26024Applications of Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003Probabilities.Operations research.Management science.Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Operations Research, Management Science.Applications of Mathematics.519.2Drewitz Alexanderauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut721620Ráth Balázsauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSapozhnikov Artëmauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300158103321An Introduction to Random Interlacements2536505UNINA04121nam 2200757 a 450 991096780550332120200520144314.09780674040885067404088010.4159/9780674040885(CKB)1000000000805574(StDuBDS)AH23050800(SSID)ssj0000275646(PQKBManifestationID)12068247(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000275646(PQKBWorkID)10219598(PQKB)10386738(SSID)ssj0000488564(PQKBManifestationID)11332616(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000488564(PQKBWorkID)10450529(PQKB)11058359(MiAaPQ)EBC3300673(Au-PeEL)EBL3300673(CaPaEBR)ebr10328851(OCoLC)923116928(DE-B1597)574455(DE-B1597)9780674040885(OCoLC)1262307297(Perlego)1132873(EXLCZ)99100000000080557420030521d2003 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrYankee no! anti-Americanism in U.S.--Latin American relations /Alan McPhersonCambridge, Mass.

In Yankee No! Alan McPherson sheds much-needed light on the controversial and pressing problem of anti-U.S. sentiment in the world. Examining the roots of anti-Americanism in Latin America, McPherson focuses on three major crises: the Cuban Revolution, the 1964 Panama riots, and U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic. Deftly combining cultural and political analysis, he demonstrates the shifting and complex nature of anti-Americanism in each country and the love-hate ambivalence of most Latin Americans toward the United States. When rising panic over "Yankee hating" led Washington to try to contain foreign hostility, the government displayed a surprisingly coherent and consistent response, maintaining an ideological self-confidence that has outlasted a Latin American diplomacy torn between resentment and admiration of the United States. However, McPherson warns, U.S. leaders run a great risk if they continue to ignore the deeper causes of anti-Americanism. Written with dramatic flair, Yankee No! is a timely, compelling, and carefully researched contribution to international history.Anti-AmericanismLatin AmericaLatin AmericaRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesRelationsLatin AmericaDominican RepublicHistory1961-PanamaHistory1946-1981CubaHistory1959-1990VenezuelaHistory1935-1958Anti-Americanism327.7308McPherson Alan L992198MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967805503321Yankee no4351780UNINA
