Effective description of mixtures of condensates

Abstract: I will present rigorous results on the effective properties of many-body systems consisting of multiple bosonic species. This will be based on joint works with A. Michelangeli and P.T. Nam. ...

Effective Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates in the Thomas-Fermi Limit

Abstract: We discuss the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) approximation for interacting bosons in the Thomas-Fermi (TF) regime, i.e., for a mean-field interaction potential with shrinking support ...

On upper bounds to the energy of the dilute Bose gas (course)

In this course we will review recent work on the different upper bounds for the ground state energy of a gas of interacting bosons in the thermodynamic limit. We start by considering quasi-free states...

A simple 2nd order lower bound to the energy of dilute Bose gases

Abstract: We consider a system of non-relativistic bosons interacting through a regular, positive potential vv with scattering length aa. We give a simple proof that the ground state energy density sa...

Beyond Diophantine Wannier diagrams: gap labelling for Bloch-Landau Hamiltonians

Abstract: In 1978 Wannier discovered a Diophantine relation expressing the integrated density of states of a gapped group of bands of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian as a linear function of the magnetic fi...

Nonlinear Gibbs measures and their derivation from many-body quantum mechanics

Abstract: In this talk I will define and discuss some probability measures in infinite dimensions, which play an important role in (S)PDE, in Quantum Field Theory and for Bose-Einstein condensates. Th...

On Schrödinger Operators with Point Interactions

Abstract: A central topic in mathematical physics is the investigation of quantum systems subject to very short range potentials, virtually supported on a nite set of points. In this talk, after a pre...

Small noise asymptotics for stochastic Allen-Cahn equations in finite volume

We consider lattice approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation on the torus perturbed by small space-time white noise and discuss metastable transition times between the two stable phases....

Effects of prior selection in nonparametric Bayes problems

We consider an arbitrary family of stochastically ordered distribution functions dependent on parameters from an interval in the real line. We compare distribution functions and moments of random vari...

Invariance principle for the degenerate dynamic random conductance model.

After the brilliant result of Papanicolau and Varadhan (1979) in the case of bounded stationary and ergodic environments, there has been a recent upsurge in the research of quenched homogenization in ...

Nested Group Testing Procedures and Generalized GT Problem

Group testing has its origins in the identication of syphilis in the US army during World War II. It is a useful method that has broad applications in medicine, engineering, and even in airport securi...

Enhanced Sanov theorem for Brownian rough paths and an application to interacting particles

We establish a Sanov type large deviation principle for an ensemble of interacting Brownian rough paths. As application a large deviations principle for the (k-layer, enhanced) empirical measure of we...
