Previous Lectures


Apr 1, 2011	Jürgen Jost Information theory and theoretical neuroscience In this course, introducing and building upon methods from information theory and dynamical systems, I shall discuss information transmission between synaptically coupled neurons as well as the dynamics of larger ensembles of neurons.Date and time infoFriday, 13:30 - 15:00 h
Apr 1, 2011	Felix Otto, Jürgen Jost, Erich Miersemann, Hans-Bert Rademacher, Matthias Schwarz, Stephan Luckhaus IMPRS Ringvorlesung: Summer semester 2011 About this lectureDue to the rather broad spectrum of topics within the IMPRS, the curriculum consists of a core curriculum to be attended by all students and a variety of more specialized lectures and courses. The heart of our teaching program certainly is the Ringvorlesung. Each semester the Ringvorlesung focuses on one field and is usually delivered by scientific members of the IMPRS who introduce different approaches and visions within this field. Topics Felix Otto: Introduction to the Calculus of Variations Jürgen Jost: The classical approachErich Miersemann: Variational problems for minimal surfaces and other problems involving the mean curvature, like capillary interfacesFelix Otto: Wasserstein metricsJürgen Jost: Convexity conditions in the calculus of variations, geometric variational problems like harmonic maps Hans-Bert Rademacher: Geometric variational problems, closed geodesics, Morse theory Felix Otto: Gradient flowsMatthias Schwarz: Floer theoryStephan Luckhaus: Geometric measure theory, minimal submanifolds Date and time infoTuesday, 13:30 - 15:00 h
