Short presentation
My research is mainly in probability theory, in particular combinatorial probability (mainly random graphs and related topics); occasionally I also do research in analysis, which was my original field.
I have written 4 books and over 300 journal papers. See my list of publications, which also includes a list of my coauthors in alphabetic order.
See also the list of some of my talks.
Academic merits: PhD
I am member of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, The Royal Society of Sciences at Uppsala, The Swedish Mathematical Society , Svenska statistikfrämjandet, Vetenskap och Folkbildning.
I am, besides my research, interested in calendars and their mathematics and election methods.
I have earlier participated in, and helped launching, the project Samnordisk runtextdatabas (a data base with runic texts).
