The project explores fluctuation-dominated behavior in interacting many-body systems originating from a variety of physical and biological contexts. A common methodological basis is provided by the use of large deviations principles in path space, which links the project to dynamical systems theory and semi-classical quantum mechanics. Specific problems to be addressed concern the structure of none-equilibrium measures in spin systems, fluctuation theorems for mesoscopic quantum systems, and effects of demographic and spatial fluctuations in models of biological population dynamics. |
