Lecture
Advanced Statistical Physics
Roland Netz
Comments
Lecture Content:
- Foundations of Statistical Mechanics (Liouville equation, equilibrium averages, time correlation functions, fluctuations)
- Causality and response theory (fluctuation-dissipation theorem, Onsager reciprocal relations, Kramers-Kronig relations)
- Memory and friction, projection formalism
- Stochastic processes (Langevin equation, velocity autocorrelation functions, mean-square displacements, spectroscopy)
- Fokker-Planck equation, Master equation, Markov models, kinetic equations
- Reaction rate theory
- Dynamic path integrals
- Non-equilibrium thermodynamics (entropy production, stability, stationary non-equilibrium states)
The lecture is suggested for students who have attended a course on Thermodynamics and Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics.
