Perspectives in Analysis and Probability

Summer School and Workshop on KPZ Equation and Rough Paths


Dates: 3 to 13 june 2013 

Location: Rennes 

Contact: A. Debussche, M. Gradinaru


Goal

This summer school will consist of a first week devoted mainly to two courses by Martin Hairer on Khardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and Peter Friz on rough paths and a workshop next week dedicated to these two subjects.

Guiding principle in the first week 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. This result will certainly validate a number of conjectures 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. 


The second week workshop will present the most recent advances on this topic and on the theory of rough paths that has multiple applications.
