OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A BPHZ theorem for stochastic PDEs
A classical result obtained in the 50’s and 60’s by Bogoliubov, Parasiuk, Hepp and Zimmerman provides a prescription on how to renormalise amplitudes of Feynman diagrams arising in perturbative quantum field theory in a consistent way. We will discuss an analogue of this theorem which has both an analytic and a probabilistic interpretation. In particular, we will see that it implies that the solutions to a large class of nonlinear stochastic PDEs depend on their driving noise in a surprisingly rigid way. This rigidity is a mathematical manifestation of the “universality” taken for granted when building our intuition on the large-scale behaviour of probabilistic models.
