The Lars Onsager Lecture 2008 and Will Be Presented with the Onsager Medal T HE LARS ONSAGER L ECTURE 2008 Dr.Terence Tao Invitation The Norwegian University of Science and Technology is proud to announce the 2008 Lars Onsager Lecturer: Terence Tao Professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA – Due to his combination of mathematical depth, width and volume in a manner unprecedented in contemporary mathematics. The Lars Onsager Lecture on December 8: In a ceremony on December 8 he will present the Lars Onsager Lecture 2008 and will be presented with the Onsager Medal. His lecture is entitled: Structure and randomness in the prime numbers. NTNU invites you to take part in this event The ceremony and lecture is open, and we hope you have the opportunity to attend. For more information in Norwegian. please see: www.forskning.no/artikler/2008/oktober/199068 UCLA’ s profile of Professor Tao: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Qy5qkOjxk Profesor Terence Tao is named this year’s Lars Onsager Lecturer – Professor Tao is invited as this year’s Lars Onsager Lecturer on the basis of his combination of mathematical depth (solving deep problems that have been unanswered for centuries) with width (working simultaneously in several distinct areas of mathematics) and volume (He has written more than 150 research papers and 8 books) in a manner unprecedented in contemporary mathematics, says the Chair of the Onsager Committee at NTNU, Norway, Professor Helge Holden. Official Lars Onsager Lecture on December 8: In a ceremony at the Natural Science Building (Realfagbygget), NTNU, Professor Tao will present the Lars Onsager Lecture for 2008 where he also will be presented with the Lars Onsager Medal. After the ceremony he will hold his Lars Onsager Lecture entitled: Structure and randomness in the prime numbers. The Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős’ words may summarize the lecture: - God may not play dice with the universe, but something strange is going on with the prime numbers. Program for the event: Opening and presentation of Professor Tao by the Chair of the Onsager Committee at NTNU, Professor Helge Holden Rector Torbjørn Digernes NTNU The Onsager lecture by Professor Terence Tao Comments and questions from the audience The Lars Onsager Lecture will take place in: Auditorium R2, Natural Science Building, NTNU Gløshaugen, Trondheim at 11:15–12:00 on Monday, December 8, 2008 Guest lecture on December 9: Professor Tao will hold a guest lecture entitled: Compressed sensing. Together with professors Candes and Romberg, Terence Tao has provided a breakthrough in the area of compressed sensing that allows for an essential reduction in the storage size used in, e.g., digital sensors. A common situation is when one has a network of sensors that are all required to make continuous observations over a long period of time at low power. In a case like this, one needs each sensor to make medium-resolution images over a long time using only a moderate number of measurements. Compressed sensing offers a method to recover high quality images from small amounts of data. This opposes the traditional approach of taking a massive number of measurements and then compressing all the data into a smaller file. Auditorium EL2, Electrical Engineering Building , NTNU Gløshaugen, Trondheim at 11:15–12:00 on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 ON THE LARS ONSAGER LECTURE The Lars Onsager Lecture is an annual international lecture in memory of late Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Lars Onsager. Lars Onsager graduated in 1925 in chemical engineering from NTH (from 1996 NTNU) in Trondheim, where he also started on the work for which he later was awarded The Nobel Prize in Chemistry. After Lars Onsager’s death his sons and daughter donated his scientific works and professional belongings to NTH as his Alma Mater. In 1993 NTH established the Lars Onsager Lecture and the Lars Onsager Professorship, which are awarded to outstanding scientists. The Lars Onsager Lecture consists of a publicly announced lecture and a presentation of the Onsager Medal. The lecturer is invited on the basis of the highest international reputation in chemistry, physics or mathematics. The recipients are appointed annually by an international committee led by Professor Dr. Helge Holden at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU. ON THE ONSAGER ARCHIVES: The archives of Lars Onsager that are open to anyone interested in his work, are organized as a special archive at the Gunnerus Library in Trondheim. Lars Onsager´s Nobel Prize Diploma as well as the Diploma for the National Medal of Science from the US President, his desk and other items are on display in the Lerchendal Manor where NTNU holds official receptions.

Rubı´* Departament de Fı´sica Fonamental, Facultat de Fı´sica, UniVersitat de Barcelona, Martı´ i Franque`s, 1, 08028-Barcelona, Spain J. M. G. Vilar Computational Biology Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 307 East 63rd Street, New York, New York 10021 ReceiVed: June 1, 2005; In Final Form: September 1, 2005 Concepts of everyday use such as energy, heat, and temperature have acquired a precise meaning after the development of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics provides the basis for understanding how heat and work are related and the general rules that the macroscopic properties of systems at equilibrium follow. Outside equilibrium and away from macroscopic regimes, most of those rules cannot be applied directly. Here we present recent developments that extend the applicability of thermodynamic concepts deep into mesoscopic and irreversible regimes. We show how the probabilistic interpretation of thermodynamics together with probability conservation laws can be used to obtain Fokker-Planck equations for the relevant degrees of freedom. This approach provides a systematic method to obtain the stochastic dynamics of a system directly from its equilibrium properties. A wide variety of situations can be studied in this way, including many that were thought to be out of reach of thermodynamic theories, such as nonlinear transport in the presence of potential barriers, activated processes, slow relaxation phenomena, and basic processes in biomolecules, such as translocation and stretching. 1. Introduction reminiscent of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, by which to study fluctuations in nonlinear systems.

  • Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Thermodynamics
    This page intentionally left blank EQUILIBRIUM AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS This book gives a self-contained exposition at graduate level of topics that are generally considered fundamental in modern equilibrium and non-equilibrium sta- tistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach between the macroscopic (thermody- namic) and microscopic (statistical) points of view. The first half of the book deals with equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. In addition to stan- dard subjects, such as the canonical and grand canonical ensembles and quantum statistics, the reader will find a detailed account of broken symmetries, critical phenomena and the renormalization group, as well as an introduction to numer- ical methods, with a discussion of the main Monte Carlo algorithms illustrated by numerous problems. The second half of the book is devoted to non-equilibrium phenomena, first following a macroscopic approach, with hydrodynamics as an im- portant example. Kinetic theory receives a thorough treatment through the analysis of the Boltzmann–Lorentz model and of the Boltzmann equation. The book con- cludes with general non-equilibrium methods such as linear response, projection method and the Langevin and Fokker–Planck equations, including numerical sim- ulations. One notable feature of the book is the large number of problems. Simple applications are given in 71 exercises, while the student will find more elaborate challenges in 47 problems, some of which may be used as mini-projects. This advanced textbook will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics. MICHEL LE BELLAC graduated from the Ecole Normale Superieure´ and ob- tained a Ph.D. in Physics at the Universite´ Paris-Orsay in 1965.

  • The Bellman Function Technique in Harmonic Analysis Vasily Vasyunin , Alexander Volberg Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48689-7 — The Bellman Function Technique in Harmonic Analysis Vasily Vasyunin , Alexander Volberg Frontmatter More Information The Bellman Function Technique in Harmonic Analysis The Bellman function, a powerful tool originating in control theory, can be used successfully in a large class of difficult harmonic analysis problems and has produced some notable results over the last 30 years. This book by two leading experts is the first devoted to the Bellman function method and its applications to various topics in probability and harmonic analysis. Beginning with basic concepts, the theory is introduced step-by-step starting with many examples of gradually increasing sophistication, culminating with Calderon–Zygmund´ operators and endpoint estimates. All necessary techniques are explained in generality, making this book accessible to readers without specialized training in nonlinear PDEs or stochastic optimal control. Graduate students and researchers in harmonic analysis, PDEs, functional analysis, and probability will find this to be an incisive reference, and can use it as the basis of a graduate course. Vasily Vasyunin is Leading Researcher at the St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences and Professor at the Saint Petersburg State University. His research interests include linear and complex analysis, operator models, and harmonic analysis. Vasyunin has taught at universities in Europe and the United States. He has authored or coauthored over 60 articles. Alexander Volberg is Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Michigan State University. He was the recipient of the Onsager Medal as well as the Salem Prize, awarded to a young researcher in the field of analysis.
