The workshop aims to bring together leading experts and promising junior scientists in the fields of nonlinear Dirichlet forms and nonlinear Markov processes, two emerging research areas at the interface between stochastic analysis, functional analysis, and PDEs.
Inspired by the prominent case for the well-studied theory of (conservative parabolic) linear PDEs, Dirichlet forms and Markov processes, the goal of this workshop is to pave the way for such a deep nonlinear theory by initiating and fostering scientific exchange between the involved communities.
We further envision a broad range of applications of this theory, including some to Hamiltonian, Finslerian, fractal, and nonsmooth geometry, whose communities will also be represented among the participants of the workshop.
