In this talk we will explain several results surrounding global stability problem for the Boltzmann equation 1872 with the physically important collision kernels derived by Maxwell 1867 for the full range of inverse power intermolecular potentials,...

About twenty years ago, Choptuik studied numerically the gravitational collapse (Einstein field equations) of a massless scalar field in spherical symmetry, and found strong evidence for a universal, self-similar solution at the threshold of black...

I will discuss a proof of many-body localization for a one-dimensional spin chain with random local interactions. The proof depends on a physically reasonable assumption that limits the amount of level attraction in the system. This is joint work...

We provide a derivation of the brownian motion as the hydrodynamic limit of a diluted deterministic system of hard-spheres (in the Boltzmann-Grad limit). We use the linear Boltzmann equation as an intermediate level of description for one tagged...

I will talk about two types of random processes -- the classical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model of spin glasses and its diluted version. One of the main goals in these models is to find a formula for the maximum of the process, or the free...
