[Mathematics Lecture Series 1]
Date: November 4 (Monday)
Time: 16:30 PM - 17:30 PM
Location: Room 223, Building A
Title: Principles and recent developments in statistical mechanics
Speaker: Dr. Ro Sunghan (Harvard University, Department of Physics)
Abstract: In the Newtonian framework, the future trajectory of a physical system can be determined from its initial conditions using the equations of motion. However, the power of this formalism is limited to one- or two-body systems. For three or more bodies, the dynamics become chaotic, making precise predictions impossible. So, how do physicists calculate the properties of many-body systems, such as chemical mixtures or electronic devices? In this seminar, I will introduce the formalism of statistical mechanics, which tames chaotic behavior through combinatorial state number counting. I will also briefly explore recent developments that have deepened our understanding of nonequilibrium systems.
Target Audience: Students interested in minoring or majoring in mathematics, and physics students aiming for careers in mathematics or physics fields.

[Mathematics Lecture Series 2]
Date: November 5 (Tuesday)
Time: 16:30 PM - 17:30 PM
Location: Room 223, Building A
Title: Wave turbulence and some well-posedness results
Speaker: Prof. La, Joonhyun (Korea Institute for Advanced Study(KIAS), School of Mathematics)
Abstract: Wave turbulence refers to the statistical theory of weakly nonlinear dispersive waves. In the weakly turbulent regime of a system of dispersive waves, its statistics can be described via a coarse-grained dynamics, governed by the kinetic wave equation. Remarkably, kinetic wave equations admit exact power-law solutions, called Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra, which resemble Kolmogorov spectrum of hydrodynamic turbulence, and is often interpreted as a transient equilibrium between excitation and dissipation. In this talk, we will outline a local well-posedness result for kinetic wave equation for a toy model for wave turbulence. The result includes well-posedness near K-Z spectra, and demonstrates a surprising smoothing effect of the kinetic wave equation. The talk is based on the joint work with Pierre Germain (ICL) and Katherine Zhiyuan Zhang (Northeastern).
Target Audience: Students interested in minoring or majoring in mathematics, and physics students aiming for careers in mathematics or physics fields.

If we get a lot of attendees, we might need to change the lecture room due to capacity. We'll keep everyone updated about any changes if you’ve registered.
Thank you.
