Random Rubber Bands: Evolution and Noise on Manifolds - Rothschild Lecture
Offered By: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of random rubber bands in this Rothschild Lecture delivered by Professor Martin Hairer from Imperial College London. Delve into the complexities of modeling a noisy version of a rubber band constrained to a manifold, as it attempts to shorten its length while being pulled in random directions. Discover the surprising difficulties encountered in building such a model and the resulting insights, along with the beautiful algebraic and analytical objects that emerge. Learn about the main results obtained during the construction of this model, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of geometry, probability, and mathematical physics. This hour-long talk, presented at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, provides an engaging exploration of scaling limits, rough paths, and quantum field theory through the lens of a seemingly simple yet profoundly complex system.
