Mini-course on Entropy Methods in Particle Systems
Milton Jara, IMPA

The goal of this course is to present the Relative-Entropy Method of Yau in the context of general continuous time Markov chains, as well as recent advances obtained in collaboration with Otávio Menezes (IST Lisbon). The course targets students at the master or PhD level, but can also be suitable for advanced undergraduate students in mathematics. The only requirement is to be acquainted with the equivalent of an introductory course on Markov chains.

Organizer: Patrícia Gonçalves.
