Presentation

Courses for the first three years (2015-2018) were devoted to recent developments in non-equilibrium physics, first from the perspective of stochastic thermodynamics (fluctuation theorems, Jarzysnki relations, large deviations), then in an analysis of the properties of transport models (exclusion processes, chains of anharmonic oscillators) or growth (Kardar Parisi Zhang equation, random matrices, directed polymers). The 2018-2019 year presented an introduction to renormalization ideas in statistical physics (universality, exponent calculus) and the 2019-2020 year focused on front dynamics, in particular on recent results relating to the Fisher-KPP equation.

Courses in the coming years (2020-) will focus on disordered systems theory (localization, spin glasses, neural networks) and its applications.
