Spectral Theory of Relativistic Operators
Month: July 2012
Date: July 23--August 17
Name: Spectral Theory of Relativistic Operators
Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Description
Relativistic operators are used to model important physical systems which include transport properties of graphene, and relativistic quantum field theory. This meeting will focus on the following areas of current research interest in such operators applied to mathematical physics. 1. For classical (one-particle) Dirac operators, current topics of interest include the Weyl-type theory, dissolution of eigenvalues of corresponding relativistic systems into resonances, asymptotics of the spectral function and spectral concentration as well as the role of the mass term of Dirac operators. 2. Stability of matter and asymptotic behaviour of the ground state energy for relativistic many-particle systems. 3. The interaction of photons with fast moving (relativising) electrons, positrons, and photons.
