Internal and External Factors in Syntactic Change

Masatoshi Fukushima is one of the most influential probabilists of our times. His fundamental work on Dirichlet forms and Markov processes made Hilbert space methods a tool in stochastic analysis and by this he opened the way to several new developments. His impact on a new generation of probabilists can hardly be overstated.

These Selecta collect 25 of Fukushima's seminal articles published between 1967 and 2007.
