Phil Sosoe is a professor at Cornell working in probability and mathematical physics. We discuss the major problems in his field and the difference between the approaches of mathematicians and physicists.
0:00 How COVID has affected teaching at Cornell
4:25 Probability and mathematical physics, percolation
12:27 Partial differential equations with random initial data
24:27 The major problem in the field: percolation in 3D
35:48 The difference in perspective between mathematicians and physicists
48:14 Physicists and mathematicians view PDE differently; physicists don't do analysis
1:21:38 The techniques Phil uses in his work
1:27:45 Special relationship between math and physics? What makes questions interesting?

So interesting. Such excellent content.
What a lovely interview! I am from ergodic theory and I loved the exposition. Great questions were addressed to form a big picture. Huge!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video, I've always been curious about mathematical physics. I'm not a student but I m trying to self-teach myself on math through my interest in complex numbers and using that interests to empower me to relearn the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Linear Algebra and hopefully learn more interesting topics at higher levels. Love the content. Keep it up and Positive Vibes to you and the days ahead =)
Tesla over 100 years ago stated..... Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality - Nikola Tesla
