    Goal

    Since the first theoretical results for backward stochastic differential equations in the early 90s, this theory has continued to grow due to its applications in the fields of partial differential equations, stochastic geometry, finance and of stochastic control. The conference will provide an opportunity to take stock of recent developments and to consider new perspectives in this field.

  • Summer School on KPZ Equation and Rough Paths
    Jun 3, 2013 to Jun 7, 2013

    Courses

    Integrable probability and the KPZ equation

    Lectures on Rough Paths and Applications
    Peter Friz, TU-Berlin

    The KPZ equation
    Martin Hairer, University of Warwick

    Yuri Bakhtin, Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta
    Marton Balazs, University of Budapest
    Patrik Ferrari, University of Bonn
    Massimiliano Gubinelli, Université Paris Dauphine
    Tomohiro Sasamoto, Chiba University
    Samy Tindel, Université de Lorraine

    Dates: Monday 3 to Friday 7 June 2013
    Location: Rennes
    Contact: A. Debussche, M. Gradinaru


    Goal

    This summer school will be mainly devoted to three courses by Ivan Corwin and Martin Hairer on Khardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and Peter Friz on rough paths. Several others talks will present the most recent advances on these topics.

    Guiding principle in the courses will be to present the theory of rough paths and recent work by Martin Hairer who managed to solve rigorously the KPZ equation using this theory among other ones. In conjunction with recent breakthroughs on the exact statistics of the KPZ equation (the topic of Ivan Corwin's mini-course), these results will likely validate a number of predictions in the physics literature in which this equation is often seen as a universal limit. The method developed by Martin Hairer will also allow progresses on other very singular equations.

Goal

Dating back to Kolmogorov's construction of probabilistic diffusions from solutions of partial differential equations in the early 30's and the joint development of potential theory and Markov process in the early 50's, Analysis and Probability theory have never ceased their fruitful interactions, feeded by practical problems from physics, engineering, finance and others. The inaugural conference of the semester Perspectives in Analysis and Probability will provide a panorama of this domain of interaction, by gathering top international researchers at the interface of Analysis, Probability theory and Partial Differential Equations.
