THE SEMINAR
THEORY OF DUALITY
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 16th of May 2019, at 10:15 a.m.

Tomasz Smołka (KMMF) 

will give a talk on

"The heat kernel"

Abstract

The method of solving the thermal conductivity equation is one of the key achievements of modern functional analysis. I will discuss the classical methods of studying parabolic equations based on finding the integral kernel of the heat semi-group. The heat kernel of an operator L is the integral kernel of the heat semi-group exp(-tL). In particular, I will talk about an approach which uses the Synge functions in the construction.


The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
