Thomas Karam (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)
Contributions of information theory to pure mathematics (英語)
[ Abstract ]
This talk will provide an overview of a mini-course to be taught in January 2026 at the University of Tokyo, aimed at describing how Shannon entropy, a tool that was originally developed for and motivated by a rigorous mathematical analysis of communications engineering, later led to developments that can to some extent be viewed as taking place in a converse direction, where Shannon entropy provided insight into central basic questions in several fields of pure mathematics.

Raphaël LEFEVERE (Université de Paris Cité)
Macroscopic diffusion in random lattice Lorentz gases (英語)
[ Abstract ]
I will present the general issues that have to be tackled when deriving macroscopic laws from microscopic deterministic laws of motion and a toy model where these issues may be solved.
