Program

Topics in the general area of linear and nonlinear differential equations and their relation to mathematical physics will be emphasized. This will include topics such as the analysis of Schrödinger operators, quantum electrodynamics, fluid dynamics, conservation laws, evolution equations, spectral and scattering theory including inverse problems, wave transport in disordered media, as well as related topics.
