Abstract

Nonlinear dispersive equations are models for nonlinear waves in a wide range of situations. Mathematically they display an interplay between linear dispersion and nonlinear focusing or defocusing effects. They are linked to diverse areas of mathematics and physics, ranging from nonlinear optics over oscillatory integrals and integrable systems to algebraic geometry. The conference did focus on the analytic (PDE) aspects with a view towards applications. Major results and areas are: Motivated by recent developments there has been a series of lectures by T. Kappeler and P. Topalov on their application of the inverse scattering transform to rough initial data for the Korteweg-de-Vries equation. This meeting was attended by 45 participants. The organizers made an effort to include young mathematicians and to give them the opportunity of a shorter talk.
