In this conference we aim to bring together the top specialists in the field of collisionless kinetic theory, along with promising young mathematicians, to explore recent progress, identify important open problems, and hopefully set a course for the next few years.
The field of collisionless kinetic theory has seen a revived interest in recent years, in part due to some noteworthy results, such as the result of C. Mouhot & C. Villani concerning Landau Damping. This conference aims to harness this renewed interest to generate momentum and attract young researchers to this field.
Some of the most influential results of the last decades are due to Walter Strauss, Bob Glassey and Jack Schaeffer: three mathematical generations. We will use this opportunity to mark their contributions to this field. In particular, we shall mark Bob’s 70th birthday, as well as the 20th anniversary of the publication of his book “The Cauchy Problem in Kinetic Theory”.
