"The hidden world of the diffusion equation"Timothy Newman/P0STP0NED , University of Virginia, Physics and Biology [Host: Eugene Kolomeisky]
ABSTRACT:
The study of persistent structures in dynamical processes
is one of the most interesting recent developments in
statistical mechanics. In this talk I shall give a brief review
of persistence and its applications. This will be followed
by the presentation of some very recent results concerning
persistence in the diffusion equation, the foremost of which
concerns the discovery of two (astonishingly high) critical
dimensions.
