A variational characterization of the Sine- β point process

Abstract: I will discuss the scattering problem for a quantum particle in dimension three in the presence of a semitransparent unbounded obstacle, modeled by a surface. The generator of the dynamics i...

Scattering from local deformations of a semitransparent plane

Abstract: I will discuss the scattering problem for a quantum particle in dimension three in the presence of a semitransparent unbounded obstacle, modeled by a surface. The generator of the dynamics i...

Global well-posedness of the Non-cutoff Boltzmann Equation with Polynomial Decay Perturbations

Abstract: The Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff is considered when the initial data is a perturbation of a global Maxwellian with algebraic decay in the velocity variable. Global solution is p...

The Dirichlet-Ferguson diffusion

We define, via Dirichlet forms' theory, a geometric diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L...

Stochastic homogenization of zero order convolution type operators

The talk will focus on homogenization problem for a family of zero order non-local convolution type operators that satisfy proper moment and ellipticity conditions. Under the assumptions that the coef...

On Gibbs-Shannon Entropy

This talk will focus on the question of the physical contents of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy outside equilibrium. It will be based on the article Gavrilov-Chetrite-Bechhoeffer, Direct measurement of wea...

Homogenization for diffusion processes

We present general tools to prove the central limit theorem for addive functionals of Markov processes and discuss in some detail the application to diffusions in periodic or random enevironment....

Homogenization for diffusion processes, part 2.

We discuss central limit theorems for martigales and homogenization for random walks in random environment....

Homogenization for diffusion processes, part 3.

We discuss homogenization for diffusion processes in stationary random environment and several characterizations of the homogenized diffusion coefficient....

The dimer model: equilibrium and non-equilibrium aspects (corso di dottorato)

This course focuses on various mathematical aspects of lattice dimer models. These are very classical two-dimensional statistical mechanics models, that are exactly solvable in some sense (Kasteleyn, ...

Fluctuations for point vortices

The first part of the presentation is a short review of a statistical mechanics model of point vortices for the 2D Euler equations and their mean field limit. In the second part we outline a proof of ...

Percolation in the Miller-Abrahams random resistor network

The Miller-Abrahams random resistor network is used to study electron transport in amorphous solids. This resistor network is given by the complete random graph built on a marked homogeneous Poisson p...
