Scaling limits of particle systems and microstructural disorder
The present proposal focuses on the role of microstructural disorder in the dynamics of many-particle systems. Due to the complexity of such systems, any practical description relies on simplified effective theories. In the tradition of Hilbert’s sixth problem, I aim at the rigorous large-scale derivation of effective theories from fundamental microscopic descriptions. In those derivations, the role of microstructural disorder has often been overlooked for simplicity. However, disorder is key to many systems and can lead to new behaviors. Understanding its effects in scaling limits of particle systems is, therefore, of fundamental interest. I have selected five model problems illustrating…
