International Conference
in Honour of Stephan Luckhaus' 70th anniversary
24-28 July 2023, Bingen University, Germany.

Unfinished Business:
Problems in Applied Geometric Measure Theory, Many-particle Systems,
Epidemiology, and Phase Transitions

Aims and Goals:

There are recent advances and longstanding problems in all the above fields.
One of those problems is the description of singularity sets especially rectifiability for finite or infinite energy singularities.
The main examples for finite energy singularities are still the ones of minimal surfaces and harmonic maps,
for infinite energy singularities dislocations and Bose Einstein vortices.
One of the challenges for the future is to better understand the interaction of rectifiable singularity sets
in the presence of constraints given by the isotopy.

But more generally the description of local heterogeneity and constraints posed on the one hand by topology
and on the other by energy scaling are what might be called a unifying theme
between the GMT description of singularities of pde's and the theory of phase transitions in general.
 
In many particle systems the big problem is to determine higher order terms in the large deviations expansion
in the presence of phase transitions, like surface tension, but hopefully in the future also free energies of dislocation structures.
Epidemiology seems an outlier as a subject, but only since the origin of the Kermack-McKendrick models
in kinetic gas theory has been forgotten.
