Perspectives on Dynamical Systems and Their Application to Nuclear Fusion

Abstract: One School Seminar: "Perspectives on Dynamical Systems and Their Application to Nuclear Fusion" Nathan Duignan (University of Sydney)
Thursday 6 April, 1-2pm Quad S249 & online via Zoom - uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89022204678
Abstract: Historically, research of dynamical systems involved finding quantitative, explicit solutions to the defining differential equations. This was an almost purely analytic perspective of dynamical systems.
Over the past century, many fields of Mathematics have brought a new perspective on dynamical systems. With these new perspectives has come new fruits; insights and qualitative information about solutions to the system.
In this talk I will show how a combination of a geometric, topological, and algebraic perspective of dynamical systems has allowed me (and friends) to make new progress toward nuclear fusion confinement.
Mathematics
Audience: researchers in the topic
Series comments: This seminar series aims to facilitate sharing and learning about the research of our fellow staff members. Early and mid-career researchers will present a broader context of their work which should be accessible and relatable to the entire School community. Seminars will be held in-person, followed by a friendly gathering and refreshments in the SMRI common room or out on the terrace (weather permitting). Everyone is warmly invited.
