Yang-Mills, Probability, and Stochastic PDE

SKY CAO – MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT

Originating in physics, Yang-Mills theory has shaped many areas of modern mathematics. In my talk, I will present Yang-Mills theory in the context of probability, highlighting central questions and recent advances. In particular, I will discuss the role of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) in these developments and survey some of the recent progress in this field.
