Title: Large Deviation Principles for Bosonic Random Permutations
Speaker: Matthew Dickson (University of Warwick)
Abstract: Bosons are quantum particles whose collective wave-functions are symmetricunder the transposition of particles. By using the Feynman-Kac formulae,boson gases can be described by random “loop soups.” These are marked point processes where the marks are random continuous paths that return to their origin after prescribed integer parameter times. We will describe the empirical cycle counts using large deviation techniques, and see how the famous Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phenomena manifests itself from this perspective. Large deviation analysis will also allow us to derive the thermodynamic pressure for a cycle-HYL model based upon a hard-sphere interaction approximation derived by Huang, Yang and Luttinger. We also derive the condensate density for this interacting model.

Big thank you to @MartinaPQuinn of @helloalicepr for moderating the discussion, and of course to our panel @NeasaMcG @CormacORafferty and @laoneill111
@CormacORafferty "to cut yourself off from fundamental research means you could miss out on some of the biggest ideas"
@laoneill "it's our job as researchers to keep reminding governments how important basic research is" "For Dev basic research being carried out in Ireland was a badge of pride"
@NeasaMcG Schrödinger's work in causality was not well received by the religious authorities at the time At the same time DIAS did have Catholic priests working on research projects in the early days, so there was not the conflict you might think between science and religion
@laoneill111 Schrödinger was very popular in social circles in Dublin, a bit of a renaissance man
@CormacORafferty Schrödinger was gifted at explaining difficult concepts
@CormacORafferty on how unsuccessful work, in Schrödinger's case, unified field theory, is just as important part of science. And no one has managed to crack it yet! And not forgetting the cat
@laoneill111 how Schrödinger's book inspired scientists to change fields and result in the finding of the double helix.
@NeasaMcG explaining how DIAS came about and how Schrödinger was attracted to Ireland #DIASdiscovers
Panel Discussion getting underway! @laoneill111 @CormacORafferty @NeasaMcG @MartinaPQuinn
