Learning-enhanced structure preserving particle methods for Landau equation
Abstract
The Landau equation stands as one of the fundamental equations in kinetic theory and plays a key role in plasma physics. However, computing it presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the Landau operator, the dimensionality, and the need to preserve the physical properties of the solution. In this presentation, I will introduce deep learning assisted particle methods aimed at addressing some of these challenges. These methods combine the benefits of traditional structure-preserving techniques with the approximation power of neural networks, aiming to handle high dimensional problems with minimal training.

Generic differential automorphisms in positive characteristic
Abstract
It is well known that the theory of differential-difference fields in characteristic zero has a model companion. Here by a differential-difference field I mean a field with a differential and a difference structure where the operators commute (in other words the difference structure is a differential-endomorphism). The theory DCFA_0 was studied in a series of papers by Bustamante. In this talk I will address the case of positive characteristic.
There are 2 vacancies for ambitious individuals to join Maastricht University as part of the ERC STG project “AUTOMATHIC”. This 5-year interdisciplinary project aims to perform cutting-edge research in developing new methodologies for the automated modeling of the dynamic behavior of large biological networks. The project also involves engaging with national and international stakeholders.
Mathematrix, the postgraduate society for minorities in Mathematics, is running an event on Tuesday 12th November from 1-2 in L3. This will consist of three short 5 minute talks by postgraduate students about their research, followed by a Q&A about doing a Master's/PhD in Maths. There will be a chance to mingle with the postgrads afterwards over snacks.
Speakers include:
