This is an announcement for the Oberwolfach Seminar
"Stochastic Homogenization"
The Oberwolfach Seminars address to postdocs and Ph.D. students from all over the world. The aim is to introduce the participants to a particular interesting development.
Date: September 6th - September 12th, 2015
Organizers: I. Kim, UCLA, J.-C. Mourrat, ENS Lyon, F. Otto, MPI Leipzig, P. Sougandidis, The University of Chicago
Programme:
An introduction into stochastic homogenization of partial differential equations with a special focus on:
Nonlinear problems, in particular Hamilton-Jacobi, interfacial motions and nonlinear elliptic equations; oscillatory boundary conditions.
Probabilistic view upon stochastic homogenization: random walks in random environments, first passage percolation.
Quantitative aspects of stochastic homogenization, connections to statistical physics and elliptic regularity theory.
Introductory reading:
For a probabilistic view: M. Biskup, Recent progress on the Random Conductance Model, Probability Surveys, Vol. 8 (2011) 294–373
For the analyst's set-up: V. V. Jikov, S. M. Kozlov, O. A. Oleinik, Homogenization of Differential Operators and Integral Functionals, Springer 1994, in particular Sections 7.1 and 7.2
Deadline for applications: June 30th, 2015
