Carissimi, vi scrivo per annunciare che il 13 Febbraio 2018 alle ore 15.00 ci sara` il Colloquium di Matematica in `Probability and Statisical Physics'.
Il seminario si terra` al Dipartimento di matematica e informatica `Ulisse Dini' Viale Morgagni 65 Aula Anfiteatro.
Speaker: Herbert Spohn, Zentrum Mathematik, TU Munchen (Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics)
Titolo: Interacting diffusions in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class
Abstract: When spatially two phases coexist, usually they are separated by a sharp front, called the interface. For a two-dimensional bulk, the interface is a line. Its dynamics has deterministic and random contributions. In 1986 M. Kardar, G. Parisi and Y.-C. Zhang wrote down a stochastic partial differential equation, which appears to be a good approximation in case a stable phase is in contact with a metastable one. As discovered over the last decade the KPZ equation has a surprisingly rich underlying mathematical structure. In my talk I will discuss some aspects, in particular the link to random matrix theory, random tilings, and stochastic particle systems. One goal will be to explain the connection between the KPZ equation and interacting diffusions.
Il colloquium e` stato organizzato in collaborazione con Filippo Colomo (INFN, Sezione di Firenze & Universita` di Firenze).
