Herbert Spohn (Technical University, Munich) — May 4
Abstract :
Our focus are non-integrable classical systems in one dimension, like Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chains, the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation, and 1D fluids interacting through a short range potential. Nonlinear fluctuating dynamics is used to compute and predict their time-correlations in thermal equilibrium. We will explain the connection to the multi-component Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.
