SemesterAutumn Semester 2016

Periodicitynon-recurring course
Language of instructionEnglish


AbstractThe course provides an introduction to the theory of controlled rough paths with focus on stochastic differential equations. In parallel, Martin Hairer's new theory of regularity structures is introduced taking controlled rough paths as guiding examples. In particular, the course demonstrates how to use the theory of regularity structures to solve singular stochastic PDEs.
ObjectiveThe main goal is to develop simultaneously the basic concepts of rough path theory and Hairer's regularity structures.
