Abstract
round 75 years ago, Feynman used path-integration to represent a gas of (interacting) bosons in a finite volume by an ensemble of brownian bridges, aka loops. Bosons exhibit Bose--Einstein condensation - a state of matter in which a macroscopic proportion of the particles occupy the same quantum state. It has been conjectured that the condensate is represented by “infinite” loops. We “verify” this for several cases by proving that the finite volume representation converges to the superposition of finite loops and the random interlacements. Prior knowledge of bosons/mathematical physics is not required for this talk.

Variational structures beyond gradient flows (online talk)
more ... Location
Online Event
Abstract
Gradient flows is an important subclass of evolution equations, whose solution dissipates an energy 'as fast as possible'. This distinguishing feature endows these equations with a natural variational structure, which has received enormous attention over the last two decades. In recent years, it has become clear that if the gradient-flow equation originates from an underlying (reversible) stochastic particle system, then often the aforementioned variational structure is an exact decomposition of the large-deviation rate functional for the particle system. However, this decomposition and the corresponding gradient-flow structure breaks down if the underlying particles have additional non-dissipative effects (for instance in the case of non-reversible independent particles), even though the large-deviation rate functional is still available. Using the guiding example of independent non-reversible Markov jump particles, in this talk, I will discuss the various features of the rate functional and how it connects to relative entropy and Fisher information. Furthermore, I will show that if the underlying particle system is augmented with fluxes, then it is possible to derive gradient-flow-type structures in the non-reversible setting.

Modelling interactions of mutation, dormancy and transfer

Abstract
Recently, a toy model for the interaction of mutation and horizontal transfer was proposed by Champagnat, Méléard and Tran (2021). We extend their model to include the effects of competition induced dormancy and recover the convergence of the logarithmic population sizes. While the result remains unchanged, the qualitative behaviour of the limiting functions may exhibit properties of the model without dormancy but also entirely new phenomena. As an example we can observe an interesting non-monotonicity in the success of the dormancy traits depending on the strength of the dormancy initiation probability. Furthermore, we will discuss possible extensions and generalizations of the model. (This is joint work with Jochen Blath and András Tóbiás, TU Berlin)
