Abstract The Shannon-MacMillan-Breiman theorem proves the asymptotic equipartition property in typical sets, as soon as the process is ergodic. The notion of ergodicity and Birkhoff's theorem are introduced, but not proved. The main argument of the proof …

Abstract Liquids are usually described within classical physics, whereas solids require the tools of quantum mechanics. I will show how in nanoscale systems this distinction no longer holds. At these scales, liquid flows may in fact exhibit quantum …

At nanometric scales, surface effects obviously become predominant. Wall friction effects play a key role, impacting all transport processes - fluid, ionic, etc. They originate in molecular friction at the interface between the fluid, e.g. water, and the …

Interactions between species in nature can lead to fluctuations in population sizes, as for example in a two-species predator-prey system. What dynamical behavior should we expect when many species are involved, as is often the case in nature? I will …
