Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences B (FY2011)

Self-Organization and Mathematics (in Japanese)

CONTENTS
　“Self-Organization” is a phenomenon that a spatiotemporal ordered structure appears in a system spontaneously without an external detailed operation. A lot of self-organization phenomena appears in nature, both organism and inorganism. Several sorts of patterns on body surfaces, heartbeat at a constant frequency or snowflakes are instances of self-organization. Self-organization seems to be a complex phenomenon, however, it includes a smart mathematical structure.
　This subject will provide an opportunity to understand several mechanisms that order is created from disorder, by learning the relationship between a real ordered structure formed in a self-organization phenomenon and a structure reproduced by mathematical model.
PLANS
　In the first half of this lecture series, we will focus on phenomena of self-organization of organisms and will introduce formation of spatiotemporal method, such as patterns on body surfaces, cooperative phenomena by unicellular organism, as well as social insects and flocking behavior by microorganism. The relationships to mathematical structures tucked deep in those phenomena will be defined in the lectures.
　In the second half, various phenomena in nonliving systems will be introduced, so that you can understand that the self-organization is not an inherent phenomenon of organisms and mathematical models are relevant to actual phenomena. Those themes mentioned above will be lectured by the speakers invited from various sorts of fields where self-organization appears; from organism to inorganism. The lectures will be conducted in an omnibus style from the inter-departmental perspective.
