Complex patterns in wave functions: Drums, graphs, and disorder
Month: September 2012
Date: September 5--7
Name: Complex patterns in wave functions: Drums, graphs, and disorder
Location: Kavli Royal Society International Centre, Chicheley Hall, Chicheley, Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire MK16 9JJ, UK.
Description
Wave functions display complex patterns which are intensively studied in many branches of Mathematics and Physics. Their value distributions, nodal sets, extreme values, and localization properties - to cite a few examples - are investigated using diverse methods developed within a network of fields whose connectivity leaves a lot to be desired. This conference gives a unique opportunity to discuss these common questions, and present different points of view and methods, yet in a single high-level forum. A set of world-leading researchers has been invited to lecture on their recent contributions to the field. The participants will have the opportunity to present contributions in a poster session and discuss future directions across discipline borders.
