ABSTRACT

This program focus on bringing together the areas of kinetic transport in complex particle systems, self-organized flows, diffusion processes of nonlinear and nonlocal nature with applications to continuum mechanics, fluid and population dynamics as well as stochastic geometry and point processes.  There will be three connected workshops and four mini-courses.

Introductory minicourses:

• Malliavin operators and probabilistic approximations on configuration spaces: G. Peccati, Universite du Luxembourg, May 5-8, 2014
• Regularity for the Monge-Ampère equation, with applications to the semigeostrophic equations: Alessio Figalli, UT Austin, May 8-9, 2014
• Optimal partitions of Dirichelet eigenvalues: Fang-hua Lin, Courant Institute, May 12-15, 2014
• Perimeter minimizing bubble clusters: Francesco Maggi, UT Austin, May 12-15, 2014

GOALS

This activity is part of a program  of concentration and workshops involving senior and junior researchers, postdocs and graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin from May 4,  2014 until May 16, 2014.

The formal workshops, including mini courses, lectures and poster presentations will be scheduled  will bring together the areas of kinetic transport in complex particle systems, self-organized flows, diffusion processes of nonlinear and nonlocal nature with applications to continuum mechanics, fluid and population dynamics as well as stochastic geometry and point processes.

With some overlapping, the first week of workshops (May 5-9) will focus mainly on two activities; a “Workshop on Stochastic Geometry and Point Processes (SGPP)” and a “Workshop on Kinetic Transport in Complex Particle Systems.” The second week will concentrate on the “Workshop on Non Standard Diffusions.”
