Title: Randomness in Classical and Quantum Dynamics
Speaker: Thomas Spencer, Institute for Advanced Study
Abstract: This talk will review conjectures and theorems about some simple dynamical models. These include the Chirikov map, the Schrödinger operator with a random potential, and the edge reinforced random walk. Pictures will help to give intuitive view of the complicated dynamics.
