Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Disorder-generated multifractals and random matrices: freezing phenomena and extremes
Yan Fyodorov
11:00am|S-101

I will start with discussing the relation between a class of disorder-generated multifractals and logarithmically-correlated random fields and processes. An important example of the latter is provided by the so-called "\(1/f\) noise" which, in...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Kinetic transport in quasicrystals
Jens Marklof
11:00am|West Bldg. Lect. Hall

Previous studies of kinetic transport in the Lorentz gas have been limited to cases where the scatterers are distributed at random (e.g. at the points of a spatial Poisson process) or at the vertices of a Euclidean lattice. In this talk I will...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Universal current fluctuations in non equilibrium systems
Bernard Derrida
4:00pm|S-101

Fluctuations of the current of one dimensional non equilibrium diffusive systems are well understood. After a short review of the one dimensional results, the talk will try to show that the statistics of these fluctuations are exactly the same in...

Univalent Foundations Final Seminar

Homotopy Theory in Type Theory
``The Homotopy Group'' ( (1) Guillaume Brunerie, (2) Dan Licata, (3) Peter Lumsdaine)
11:00am|S-101

In this general survey talk, we will describe an approach to doing homotopy theory within Univalent Foundations. Whereas classical homotopy theory may be described as "analytic", our approach is synthetic in the sense that, in ``homotopy type theory...
