Konstantina Trivisa, University of Maryland, College Park, On the dynamics of compressible flows: variational solutions, invariant measures, martingale solutions

SAS 4201

In this talk I’ll describe an overview of results on the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous compressible flows both in the deterministic and stochastic frame- work. A contrast will be drawn between the one-dimensional flows and the multidimensional case. In the case of 1d isentropic compressible flow, the existence of invariant mea- sures will be established…

Stochastics Seminar: Erik Bates, NC State, The Busemann process of (1+1)-dimensional directed polymers

SAS 4201

Directed polymers are a statistical mechanics model for random growth.  Their partition functions are solutions to a discrete stochastic heat equation.  This talk will discuss their logarithmic derivatives, which are solutions to a discrete stochastic Burgers equation.  Of interest is the success or failure of the  "one force-one solution principle" for this equation.  I will…
