- Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture
The tiny world of particles and atoms and the gigantic world of the entire universe are separated by about forty orders of magnitude. As we move from one to the other, the laws of nature can behave in drastically different ways, sometimes obeying quantum physics, general relativity, or Newton’s classical mechanics, not to mention other intermediate theories.
Understanding the transformations that take place from one scale to another is one of the great classical questions in mathematics and theoretical physics, one that still hasn't been fully resolved. In this lecture, we will explore how these questions still inform and motivate interesting problems in probability theory and why so-called toy models, despite their superficially playful character, can sometimes lead to certain quantitative predictions.
Professor Martin Hairer is Professor of Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2014.
I love Martin Hairer's talks.
mathematics is very important for us all
Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏
More public lecture!
Ahh quality mathematics
I love math
Me too.
👍👏👍👏👍
Is it implicit that without randomness, there is no such a thing as scale invariance? He showed fractals and the atmospheric convection, is chaotic behaviour enough for this type of invariance? What other examples exists of such property? He chose constraints or boundaries as practical limits of infinity of real physical systems, and then showed the scale invariance of brownian motion. Is it assumed you only need to choose a scale interval large enough but not theoretical infinity to prove invariance? Does scale invariance means that out of the physical range of scales there is a moment where even the most chaotic systems become smooth and boring? At least the ones modelling real physical phenomena?
"Is it implicit that without randomness, there is no such a thing as scale invariance?"
In general, the answer is no. Hairer decided to narrow scope of this talk to system with randomness, because he is interested in this topic and it is big enough to full whole talk.
Normaly scale invariance means that system behave the same at every possible scale. Which is clearly not the case, as shown by Hairer on the example of bug and human being trying walk on water. Point of this talk is rather, that there is a wide range of phenomena that you can rescale in such way that they looks, at this particular scale, as brownian motion. At the smaller scale such systems would usually looks different, so we don't have scale invariance in previously mentioned sense.
At least, this is what I understand from his talk.
"Does scale invariance means that out of the physical range of scales there is a moment where even the most chaotic systems become smooth and boring?"
If I understand this question correctly, the answer is no.
Starting from the fact that brownian motion is about behavior of some random quntity as time progress. Example: what was stock price at 3 o'clock today? In such cases brownian motion looks very universal. But, what happens if your quantity depends on more things that time? Simple example of such quantity is random tetris shown around 40:25. Quantity that you look at is a maximal height that one tetris block reach at given time and given position on the line. So we have two quantities: time and position on line. As Hairer discuss at 45:15, in the case that you have random phenomena that depends on time and one parameter describing position in the space, our best guess is that this phenomena look NOT like brownian motion, but as one of two systems. Either as Edwards-Wilkinson system, which is generalization of brownian motion (kind of) or as Kardar-Parisi-Zhang system.
But in our world we have time and THREE space coordinates, which means that we should expect much more such phenomena that in systems with time and ONE space coordinate.
This is only tipe of the iceberg and I can spend much more time on this topic, even when I don't have 1/1000 knowledge that Hairer has.

My own reply to this is: I am still very naïve with the power of randomness and how to spot patterns and symmetries even in the most chaotic systems when the scale changes dramatically. Work to do: To study Ramsey theory, as it seems it can answer (at least partially) my questions.
@@franciscodanieldiazgonzale2096 I have a question, did you study probability theory? Since it is cornerstone to all discussion about randomness in mathematics.
thought this was going to be about music scales
Me too
That music scale use word "scale" like this topic, is not coincidence.
There is a branch of mathematics, functional analysis, that is very similar in name to one subject studied at musics schools. Imagin some musician listing for the course, that starts with remainder from set theory and topology and he wonder where he is?
My dream Oxford...but it is impossible now....
It's not. We are watching interresting things. There's more qualitatity lectures, cources online then you could ever master🙃
Why is this impossible now?
The sum of two consecutive numbers is 35.if first number are 3\2 of second number.find the number.
If both the numbers are consecutive then how can one be 3/2 of the second?
