XLI SUMMER SCHOOL ON MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS
(RAVELLO - SEPTEMBER 5 - 17, 2016)

The aim of the school is to give introductive lectures by international experts in the field of Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics. The school is mainly addressed to young researchers.
Four courses will be given in a series of 12 lectures scheduled in the morning of each day.


Courses (click on the title to know the contents):


1a.  part I (6 lectures, week I): "Mathematical Neuroscience",  Bard Ermentrout, (University of Pittsburgh)
1b. part II (6 lectures, week II): "Modelling tumour growth and spread",  Luigi Preziosi (Politecnico di Torino)

2a. - part I (6 lectures, week I): "Geometric aspects of phase separation", Susanna Terracini (Università di Torino)
2b. - part II (6 lectures, week II): "Noise and Chaos", Carlangelo Liverani  (Università Roma Tor Vergata)

a. - part I (6 lectures, week I): "Diffusion equations and entropy inequalities",  Giuseppe Toscani  (Università di Pavia)
3b. - part II (6 lectures, week II): "Introduction to the Mathematical theory of diffusion via PDEs",  Juan Luis Vazquez, (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid)

4a. - part I (6 lectures, week I): "The Schrodinger equation – modelling and numerics" Claudia Negulescu (University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse)
4b. part II (6 lectures, week II): "Charge transport in low dimensional structures",  Vittorio Romano (Università di Catania) 


Classes will be held from Monday to Saturday. Some lectures notes will be available on the first day of the school. Each participant must attend, at least, two courses without interruption and for the entire duration of the school, unless exceptional and justified reasons. All the participants must be active in the seminarial activity during the afternoon. This activity will be organized and driven by the lecturers.

 

To attend the school you have to send a request by e-mail to gnfm@altamatematica.it not later May 31, 2016,  indicating the two courses you want to attend and if you need a financial support from GNFM. Financial support covering the living expenses and lodging will be available up to 30 young participants. Travel expenses may be refunded only to Italian supported participants. Applications will be examined by the scientific board of GNFM and the final decision will be notified as soon as possible.
