Critical behaviour in spatial particle systems

Workshop

Berlin, 29 - 31 January, 2025

Registration will open in fall and will be open until December 15, 2024.

This workshop is devoted to certain classes of interacting spatial particle systems with phase transitions and connections to differential equations. The focus lies on particle systems with coagulation and fragmentation as well as on hard-sphere gas dynamics and the Boltzmann-Grad limit, furthermore also random spatial graphs and the like. The main goal is to describe the various critical behaviours and phase transitions that might occur and to compare their natures and physical effects to each other. Naturally, the workshop will discuss also related topics like large deviations, entropy and partial differential equations.


Minicourses by Alessia Nota and Sergio Simonella



The get-together will take place on Wednesday evening at WIAS.

The venue of the Workshop is the main building of the Weierstrass Institute at Mohrenstraße 39 in 10117 Berlin-Mitte.

It is close to the U-Bahn station Hausvogteiplatz, on the U2 line. See a map and directions.

Most of the event will take place in the Erhard-Schmidt Lecture Hall in the basement.

The organisers have reserved hotel rooms at the hotel Motel One Spittelmarkt (within walking distance). During the registration process, you will be able to request us to book a room for you. Self-organized housing is possible, and members of SPP2265 will be reimbursed if the hotel price stays within reasonable bounds (e.g., below 100 Euros per night).
