Marian Smoluchowski Symposium
The 25th Marian Smoluchowski Symposium on Statistical Physics will be held at the Collegium Novum, Jagiellonian University, Kraków on 9-13 September this year. This year, the conference is devoted to fluctuation relations in non-equilibrium regimes.
The conference series – which have been held annually since 1988 – is named in honour of Marian Smoluchowski, a Polish physicist who made significant contributions to natural science and statistical physics.
Topics under discussion at the conference will include: decoherence, chaos and quantum-classical correspondence; diffusive processes and weak ergodicity breaking; fluctuation relations and large deviation theory; fluctuation relations for entropy production in non-equilibrium stationary states; fluctuation-dissipation relation in fluids, granular media, nano- and biological-systems; and stochastic thermodynamics.
The conference is being organised by the Polish Academy of Art and Science, the Mark Kac Center for Complex System Research at the Jagiellonian University, the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Polish Academy of Sciences, the August Chełkowski Institute of Physics at the Silesian University of Technology, the Wrocław University of Technology and the Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division of the European Physical Society. The event is co-sponsored by the European Science Foundation.
The deadline for registration is 31 July. For more information, and for registration, please visit the symposium website.
