Hilbert’s sixth problem asks for a mathematically rigorous justification of the macroscopic laws of statistical physics from the microscopic laws of dynamics. The classical setting of this problem is the justification of Boltzmann’s kinetic equation...

I will present joint work with Jacek Jendrej. We consider classical scalar fields in dimension 1+1 with a symmetric double-well self-interaction potential. Examples of such equations are the phi-4 model and the sine-Gordon equation. These nonlinear...

For a general complete Huber pair $(A,A^+)$, define the analytic ring $(A,A^+)_\blacksquare$. Prove that the associations $\mathrm{Spa}\, (A,A^+)\mapsto \mathcal{D}((A,A^+)_\blacksquare)$, $\mathrm{Spa}\, (A,A^+)\mapsto \mathcal{D}^\omega((A,A^+)_...

Let π be a cuspidal automorphic representation of Sp_2n over Q which is holomorphic discrete series at infinity, and χ a Dirichlet character. Then one can attach to π an orthogonal p-adic Galois representation ρ of dimension 2n+1. Assume ρ is...

I’ll describe graph complexes, introduced by Kontsevich in the context of mathematical physics. I’ll survey its connections to geometry and topology, highlighting its relation to the cohomology of moduli spaces of curves. 

Endow the edges of the $Z^D$ lattice with positive weights, sampled independently from a suitable distribution (e.g., uniformly distributed on [a,b] for some b>a>0). We wish to study the geometric properties of the resulting network, focusing on the...
