菲尔兹奖获得者学术讲座
厦门大学95周年校庆南强学术讲座第733期
主讲人:Cédric Villani
里昂大学(Lyon University)教授
法国著名数学家
2010年菲尔兹奖获得者
题目:Of Stars, Particles and Eternity
摘要:What will happen, in one million years, to the planets in the solar system? And in one billion years? This topic inspired some of the brightest mathematicians and physicists in the past centuries; entire chapters of the history of sciences emerged from there. If we are beginning to understand the fate of the solar system, such is not yet the case for our good old galaxy; this problem might be related to the famous and mysterious Landau damping in plasma physics. It will be the opportunity to talk about the mathematical core of the nonlinear Landau damping and stability of plasmas, as well as recent developments in fluid mechanics. Confinement, regularity and mixing will come again and again, illustrating the profound unity of mathematics.
