09:30 AM - 10:30 AM		A two-scale approach to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and the hydrodynamic limit Maria Westdickenberg (RWTH Aachen)
Location MSRI: Simons Auditorium Video -- Abstract In this introductory talk we consider logarithmic Sobolev inequalities (LSI) and their relationship with the Poincare and Talagrand inequalities. We review the well-known Holley-Stroock and Bakry-Emery conditions for LSI. Finally, we explain the idea behind the two-scale method for LSI (see Grunewald-Otto-Villani-W.). If time permits, we will also discuss the two-scale method for the hydrodynamic limit Supplements -- Show Detail
