Ole Barndorff-Nielsen is well known for his manifold contributions to the theory and applications of probability and mathematical statistics, as described in the introductions of The Fascination of Probability, Statistics and Their Applications, Springer 2016. He has contributed to various fields, including statistical inference, sedimentology, infinite divisibility and Levy theory, homogeneous turbulence, and financial econometrics. Together with Jürgen Schmiegel he has founded the field of ambit stochastics.

Fred Espen Benth's research focuses on stochastic analysis and its applications to energy and finance. He has contributed to risk management analysis of financial markets for weather and energy, as well as theoretical developments of stochastic calculus, including non-semimartingale stochastic integration. Recently he has developed stochastic volatility models and autoregressive processes in the infinite dimensional context.

Almut E. D. Veraart is a statistician and probabilist with an interest in developing stochastic models and statistical methods for finance, energy markets and weather and environmental variables. Her main methodological contributions are in statistical finance focusing on stochastic volatility modelling and estimation based on high-frequency data and in spatio-temporal statistics dealing with simulation and inference for ambit fields.

"The author pays a great attention to diverse methods of numerical integration and simulation algorithms. ... The authors have written a fundamental book on contemporary probability theory and its applications. The book can be strongly recommended to theorists and applied scientists." (Jordan M. Stoyanov, zbMATH 1472.60002, 2021)""The book is very well written ... . this monograph is particularly suitable for getting acquainted with the subject, or for getting precise material on one particular sub-topic about ambit fields."
