International Workshop KEK-Cosmo 2024

Statistical Analysis of Random Fields
in Cosmology
4 (Mon) - 6 (Wed), March 2024
Seminar Hall, 1F Bldg. 4 (M02), Tsukuba Campus
KEK, Tsukuba, Japan
In recent years, physical cosmology has made unprecedented and significant progress based on abundant andsophisticated observational data, such as the large-scale structure of the Universe, the cosmic microwave backgroundradiation, gravitational lensing, gravitational waves, etc. Large-scale observational projects using space telescopes such as
Euclid, Roman, SPHEREx, LiteBird, and ground-based telescopes such as Rubin, SubaruHSC/PSF, etc. are steadily
progressing around the world. The golden age of cosmology is now upon us. The main purpose of these observations is toreveal the origin and evolution of the Universe itself, as well as the overall picture of the Universe, including unknown
components such as dark matter and dark energy, from the statistical properties of fluctuations in the Universe. Thisrequires a variety of methods to derive physical insights from high-precision data of cosmological fluctuations.
The goal of this workshop is to explore new methods in the statistical analysis of cosmological fluctuations. In order toshare mathematical perspectives on random fields with physicists, we also invite people from the fields of mathematicalstatistics and machine learning as well as cosmology as invited speakers, which will serve as a starting point for new
collaborative research between physics and mathematics. We would like to explore new research directions for the coming
new era in cosmology, with a view to constructing universal methods that can be used not only to solve problems that
already exist today but also to solve unknown problems that will be newly discovered in the future as a result of advances inobservational techniques.
The workshop will focus on invited talks, but general talks will also be accepted. This workshop is planned to be held inperson only.
