About the Book

This book provides an in-depth account of modern methods used to bound the supremum of stochastic processes. Starting from first principles, it takes the reader to the frontier of current research. This second edition has been completely rewritten, offering substantial improvements to the exposition and simplified proofs, as well as new results. The book starts with a thorough account of the generic chaining, a remarkably simple and powerful method to bound a stochastic process that should belong to every probabilist’s toolkit. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated by the characterization of sample boundedness of Gaussian processes. Much of the book is devoted to exploring the wealth of ideas and results generated by thirty years of efforts to extend this result to more general classes of processes, culminating in the recent solution of several key conjectures. A large part of this unique book is devoted to the author’s influential work.While many of the results presented are rather advanced, others bear on the very foundations of probability theory. In addition to providing an invaluable reference for researchers, the book should therefore also be of interest to a wide range of readers.

About the Author :
Michel Talagrand has made profound contributions to mathematics, notably in probability theory and related topics. The author of several books and well over 200 research papers, he is the recipient of several awards, including the Loève Prize, the Fermat Prize and the Shaw Prize. He has been a plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians and is a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

Review :
“The book includes a rich collection of exercises that will allow the reader to gain skills for a better understanding. The book is then suitable as a textbook for an advanced course. … The systematic and deep treatment of the subject under study makes the book a good reference for the specialist.” (Erick Treviño-Aguilar, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2023)
