The study of randomness in partial differential equations (PDEs) goes back more than seventy years and include examples such as the modeling of random vibrations of strings, or the scattering of waves by objects that are imbedded in random media. Nonlinear dispersive PDEs naturally appear as models describing wave phenomena in quantum mechanics, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, water waves, and atmospheric sciences. Due to their ubiquitousness they have been at the center of profound research both from the applied community as well as from the theoretical one.

Banach and Hilbert spaces, continuous linear operators, spectral theory, Banach algebras. Prerequisite: Math 623 or 705.

Lie algebras are linear algebra devices of great usefulness in mathematics and physics as an efficient tool for the study of symmetries of objects. This course will cover the fundamentals of the subject, including nilpotent and solvable Lie algebras, as well as semisimple Lie algebras and their representations.
