Description

Ein Vortrag im Rahmen der "Graduate Lectures in Mathematics" Anomalous transport refers to non-equilibrium random processes that can not be described by using standard methods of statistical physics. This novel class of transport phenomena has recently been observed in a wide variety of complex systems such as amorphous semiconductors, fusion plasma, glassy and nano-materials, biological cells and epidemic spreading. The coherent description of anomalous transport in such a broad range of systems poses a fundamental challenge to a modern statistical physics of non-equilibrium state. This lecture series aims to provide an introductory overview of some basic concepts and tools of anomalous transport theory, such as continuous time random walk model, Lévy flights, Lévy walks, generalized stochastic Langevin equation, fractional motions and fractional kinetic equations. The presentation will be given at a 'physical' level of accuracy, with particular examples from different areas of science.
