Special Year 2013-14: Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices - Seminar

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

October 15, 2013 | 2:00pm - 3:00pm

An isolated quantum many-body system may be a reservoir that thermalizes its constituents. I will explore an example of the interplay of this thermalization and spontaneous symmetry-breaking, in the ferromagnetic phase of an infinite-range quantum...

Our goal is to explain how certain basic representation theoretic ideas and constructions encapsulated in the form of Macdonald processes lead to nontrivial asymptotic results in various `integrable'; probabilistic problems. Examples include dimer...

I will start with discussing the relation between a class of disorder-generated multifractals and logarithmically-correlated random fields and processes. An important example of the latter is provided by the so-called "\(1/f\) noise" which, in...

Previous studies of kinetic transport in the Lorentz gas have been limited to cases where the scatterers are distributed at random (e.g. at the points of a spatial Poisson process) or at the vertices of a Euclidean lattice. In this talk I will...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

September 20, 2013 | 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Fluctuations of the current of one dimensional non equilibrium diffusive systems are well understood. After a short review of the one dimensional results, the talk will try to show that the statistics of these fluctuations are exactly the same in...
