Mean-Field Theory for Fermionic Mixed States
The dynamics of fermionic systems at high density can be described by Hartree-Fock theory. At positive temperature, typical initial data are quasifree mixed states (e.g. Gibbs state). I will explain how the Araki-Wyss representation can be used to treat the positive temperature setting by methods first developed for zero temperature, and use it to give a rigorous derivation of the Hartree-Fock equations for mixed initial data.

On the Jacobson radical of noncommutative rings
The Jacobson radical of a ring was introduced in 1945 by Jacobson, and has been studied ener since; consequently its structure is well understood. Around 2007, Rump showed some surprising connections between Jacobson radical rings and solutions to the Young-Baxter equation. In particular he showed that Jacobson radical rings are in one-to-one correspondence with two-sided braces. Recently, Gateva-Ivanova found that there is a one-to-one correspondence between braces and symmetric groups in the sense of Takeuchi, that is braided groups with the involutive Young-Baxter operator. Hence Jacobson radical rings can be used to construct examples of braided groups and braces. Moreover, every Jacobson radical ring yields a solution to the Young-Baxter equation. In this talk we will look at some old and new methods of constructing Jacobson radical rings and nil rings (recall that a nil ring is a ring in which every element to some power is zero, and that every nil ring is Jacobson radical). We then answer a question of Amberg and Sysak from 1997 by constructing a nil ring whose adjoint group is not an Engel group. We also mention some other examples of Jacobson radical rings related to differential polynomial rings.

Kinetic description of random walks in Markov environments
We consider the random walk (RW) of a tagged particle moving in Rd, d≥1, according to a jump process and interacting with an evolving random environment (RE). The latter is formed by infinitely many particles which evolve according to some non-equilibrium Markov dynamics in Rd (e.g. Birth-and-death dynamics, dynamics of jumping particles, etc.). We describe different techniques to study the statistical evolution in the course of the microscopic stochastic dynamics of RWRE. In particular, we construct the evolution of correlation functions satisfying a Ruelle-type bound and perform a mesoscopic (mean-field) scaling limit to derive a system of two kinetic equations for the densities of RE and of the tagged particle, respectively. This system turns out to describe a non-autonomous RW where one takes into account just a mean effect that particles of RE have on the motion of the jumping particle.
