''' | '''Large Deviations of the KPZ Equation and Most Probable Shapes''' | ||
The KPZ equation is a stochastic PDE that plays a central role in a class of random growth phenomena. In this talk, we will explore the Freidlin-Wentzell LDP for the KPZ equation through the lens of the variational principle. Additionally, we will explain how to extract various limits of the most probable shape of the KPZ equation using the variational formula. We will also discuss an alternative approach for studying these quantities using the method of moments. This talk is based in part on joint works with Pierre Yves Gaudreau Lamarre and Li-Cheng Tsai. | |||

The frog model on trees
The frog model describes random activation and spread. Think combustion or an epidemic. I have studied these dynamics on d-ary trees for ten years. I will discuss our progress and what remains to be done.

Large Deviations of the KPZ Equation and Most Probable Shapes
The KPZ equation is a stochastic PDE that plays a central role in a class of random growth phenomena. In this talk, we will explore the Freidlin-Wentzell LDP for the KPZ equation through the lens of the variational principle. Additionally, we will explain how to extract various limits of the most probable shape of the KPZ equation using the variational formula. We will also discuss an alternative approach for studying these quantities using the method of moments. This talk is based in part on joint works with Pierre Yves Gaudreau Lamarre and Li-Cheng Tsai.
