Abstract:
Over the past few decades we have witnessed an unparalleled process of unification between mathematics and physics. In this talk we shall discuss some of Sinai's seminal results which hugely contributed to this process. Sinai's contributions were based on outstanding new ideas in such core areas of mathematical physics as statistical mechanics, spectral theory of Schrödinger operators, renormalization theory, and turbulence.
This lecture was held at The University of Oslo, May 21, 2014 and was part of the Abel Prize Lectures in connection with the Abel Prize Week celebrations.
Program for the Abel Lectures 2014
1. "Now everything has been started? The origin of deterministic chaos" by Abel Laureate Yakov Sinai, Princeton University and Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences
2. "Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy and homogeneous dynamics" by Professor Gregory Margulis, Yale University
3. "Between mathematics and physics" by Konstantin Khanin, University of Toronto
4. "Mathematical billiards and chaos" a science lecture by Domokos Szász, Eötvös University, Budapest
