The fundamental mechanisms of plasticity in inorganic glasses are distinctly different from those in crystalline metals. Whereas dislocations and their mobility require plasticity in metals, mechanisms responsible for permanent deformation in glasses are to be looked at the atomistic scale. The lecture will deal with this and will involve topics such as for instance constitutive material laws, plasticity theory, dislocation theory, computational mechanics, multiscale analysis, finite element methods, crack modelling, etc.

Simen Rustad (UiO) will give a talk with title  "Construction of Bost-Connes type systems for function fields".

 

Abstract: I will try to indicate how Benoit Jacob's construction of a Bost-Connes  type system for function fields fits into a more general framework.

Bora Yalkinoglu will give a talk entitled: Introduction to p-adic Bost-Connes systems.

Abstract: In this talk we want to give a gentle introduction into the recently emerging theory of p-adic Bost-Connes systems. In the first part of the talk, after reviewing the necessary background from p-adic analysis and number theory, we will explain recent work of Connes and Consani on certain p-adic representations of the classical BC-system. In the second part of the talk we will discuss recent work on generalizations of the work of Connes and Consani and, further, point out several open problems for further research.

In nature, groups of individuals organize globally using only local information. For instance, in a school of fish, there are no external forces to coordinate the group, no leader to guide them. Several mathematical models have been proposed to describe self-organization. In this talk, we will consider two of the most famous models; the Keller-Segel model for bacterial chemotaxis and the Cucker-Smale model for flocking. The emphasis will be on recent mathematical results and remaining open questions. Starting from the microscopic description on particle level, we will discuss the derivation of mesoscopic and macroscopic models at the continuum level. Since the motivation for deriving continuum models is largely numerical, we will also discuss distinct numerical challenges with the resulting models.

The gas pipeline from the Ormen Lange Field to the terminal at Aukra faced several challenges. First, the terrain was very rugged as the route goes through the Storegga slide area where unprecedented long free spans were to be expected. Secondly, the area was believed to have complicated and strong ocean currents. An oceanographic campaign was started in 1999 and lasted to 2007. The presentation will give some background for the measurements, describe the programme and show some results.
