It gave a way to predict the amplitude of fl uctuations around the physical laws which were known at that time. Einstei n\, in his very first works\, showed that the measurement of these fluctua tions allowed to estimate the size of atoms. His reasoning\, which was at the origin of the linear response theory\, applied to the black body gave one of the first evidences of the duality wave-particle in Quantum Mechani cs. Statistical Physics gives also a framework to predict large deviations for systems at equilibrium. In the last two decades\, major efforts were devoted to extend our understanding of the statistical laws of fluctuation s and large deviations to non-equilibrium systems. This talk will try to p resent some of the recent progresses.\n\nSecond lecture (TBA)\n\nThird lec ture (TBA)\n\nBiography:\n Bernard Derrida is a French theoretical physicis t\, he is an expert in statistical mechanics who has adapted statistical-p hysics ideas to various problems in biology and is best known for his work in statistical mechanics\, and is the eponym of Derrida plots\, an analyt ical technique for characterizing differences between Boolean networks.\n H e passed the entrance examination for the École Normale Supérieure in 1971 and then the aggregation of physics in 1974 and obtained his doctorate in 1979.\n In 1993\, he became a university professor. He then taught at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie and at the ENS where he was part of the s tatistical physics laboratory.\n Since 2015\, he has held the Statistical P hysics Chair at the Collège de France.\n\nIn 2010\, Derrida was awarded th e Ampère Prize in 2001 and the Boltzmann Medal by IUPAP with John Cardy an d he was elected\, in 2004 to the Académie des sciences.\n\nOrganizers :\n Louigi Addario-Berry (ǾƷ)\n Paul Chleboun (University of War wick)\n Alessandra Faggionato (University La Sapienza)\n Hubert Lacoin (IMPA )\n Claudio Landim (IMPA)\n Julien Berestycki (University of Oxford)\n Pascal Maillard (Institut de Mathématique de Toulouse Université Toulouse II I - Paul Sabatier)\n Sarah Penington (University of Bath)\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220314 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220513 SUMMARY:Bernard Derrida Aisenstadt Chair Lecture Series URL:/mathstat/channels/event/bernard-derrida-aisenstad t-chair-lecture-series-338290 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
