Density Functional Theory and Optimal Transport with Coulomb Cost
In this talk I explain a promising and previously unnoticed link between electronic structure of molecules and optimal transportation (OT), and I give some first results. The ‘exact’ mathematical model for electronic structure, the many-electron...

Edge reinforced random walk is a process where the probability to move along an edge is proportional to a function, called the weight function, of the number of visits to that edge. It was recently established (by V. Limic and P. Tarres) that the...

We consider - in uniformly strictly convex potentials case - two versions of random gradient models. In model A) the interface feels a bulk term of random fields while in model B) the disorder enters though the potential acting on the gradients...
