Sydney Dynamics Group: Ian Melbourne -- Anomalous diffusion in deterministic systems

Dear All, 

This week, Friday March 6, Ian Melbourne (University of Warwick) will give a talk at
USyd in Carslaw 157 at 11am (note change in time and location) on 

Title: Anomalous diffusion in deterministic systems 

Abstract: 
In sufficiently slowly mixing dynamical systems, the classical central limit 
theorem breaks down and may lead to convergence to a superdiffusive Levy process.  After
reviewing older work on Pomeau-Manneville intermittent maps, I will describe recent
results on 
(i) convergence to Levy processes in billiards, 
(ii) convergence to superdiffusive stochastic processes in fast-slow systems.  

Hope to see you all there, 
Lachlan
