Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture - Wednesday 19 February 2025, 5-6 pm L1

Wound healing is a highly conserved process required for survival of an animal after tissue damage. Tannie will describe how we are beginning to use a combination of mathematics, physics and biology to disentangle some of the organising principles behind the complex orchestrated dynamics that lead to wound healing.

Uniqueness of Dirichlet operators related to stochastic quantisation for the exp(φ)_{2}-model

Hiroshi Kawabi
(Keio University)
Abstract

In this talk, we consider Dirichlet forms related to stochastic quantisation for the exp(φ)_{2}-model on the torus. We show strong uniqueness of the corresponding Dirichlet operators by applying an idea of (singular) SPDEs. This talk is based on ongoing joint work with Hirotatsu Nagoji (Kyoto University).

Scaling limits of stochastic transport equations on manifolds

Wei Huang
(Freie Universität Berlin)
Abstract

In this talk, I will present the generalization of scaling limit results for stochastic transport equations on torus by Flandoli, Galeati and Luo, to compact manifolds. We consider the stochastic transport equations driven by colored space-time noise(smooth in space, white in time) on a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. Then we study the scaling limits of stochastic transport equations, tuning the noise in such a way that the space covariance of the noise on the diagonal goes to identity matrix but the covariance operator itself goes to zero, which includes the large scale analysis regime with diffusive scaling.

We obtain different scaling limits depending on the initial data. With space white noise as initial data, the solutions converge in distribution to the solution of a stochastic heat equation with additive noise. With square integrable initial data, the solutions of transport equation converge to the solution of the deterministic heat equation, and we give quantitative estimates on the convergence rate.

Nonlinear rough Fokker--Planck equations

Fabio Bugini
(Technische Universitat Berlin)
Abstract

We present an existence and uniqueness result for nonlinear Fokker--Planck equations driven by rough paths. These equations describe the evolution of the probability distributions associated with McKean--Vlasov stochastic dynamics under (rough) common noise.  A key motivation comes from the study of interacting particle systems with common noise, where the empirical measure converges to a solution of such a nonlinear equation. 
Our approach combines rough path theory and the stochastic sewing techniques with Lions' differential calculus on Wasserstein spaces.

This is joint work with Peter K. Friz and Wilhelm Stannat.
