Exploratory Workshop on

Dissipative Systems:
Entropy Methods, Classical and Quantum Probability

from November 01 - 03, 2010
at Vienna University of Technology, Austria
financed by the European Science Foundation

This workshop will bring together people working in research fields related to classical and quantum evolution problems. The meeting aims at identifying mathematical contact points and stimulating joint research between three different communities: classical probability theory, quantum probability theory, and partial differential equations. Novel ideas and techniques for the mathematical description of the large-time behavior of many-particle systems are expected to emerge from combining the tools established in the different fields. Hypercontractivity and entropy methods play a pivotal role in all three disciplines, and they will serve as a focal point for the presented talks and discussions.

Attendance is by invitation only.
