Description
Oppenheim Lecture (Jointly organized with Department of Mathematics, NUS)
The Oppenheim Lectures is a distinguished lecture series jointly organized by the Department of Mathematics, and the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore (NUS). It is held annually beginning from the Academic Year 2014/2015, and is in honour of Sir Alexander Oppenheim, who held the position of Professor and first Head of the Department from 1931 until 1959. Professor Oppenheim was also Vice Chancellor of the University of Malaya (the predecessor of NUS) from 1957 to 1963. He was a well-known number theorist, notably for the Oppenheim Conjecture, which was settled by Gregori Margulis in the affirmative in 1986.
Overview
About Speaker
Martin Hairer was awarded a Fields Medal in 2014 for his outstanding contributions to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations, and in particular for the creation of a theory of regularity structures for such equations.
About the Talk – Stochastic Quantisation of Yang-Mills
In this lecture, we will report on recent progress on the problem of building a stochastic process that admits the hypothetical Yang-Mills measure as its invariant measure. One interesting feature of our construction is that it preserves gauge-covariance in the limit even though it is broken by our UV regularisation. This is based on joint work with Ajay Chandra, Ilya Chevyrev, and Hao Shen.
