Conservation laws and non-reciprocity

The workshop's central aim is the analysis of non-equilibrium systems, with a focus on non-reciprocity and conserved quantities. Classical concepts, such as bifurcations and phase transitions, possibly need to be reconsidered and developed further to properly reflect and account for such features.

Remarkably, only a few systematic studies exist that start from closed, thermodynamic relaxation systems, which are described, e.g., by gradient flows and then add terms that turn them into driven/active systems. A classification and understanding of many of the resulting transitions is still elusive. The related changes in the underlying mathematical structures of the equations pose many new questions, since typically combinations of conservative and dissipative terms occur.

This workshop brings together researchers from Mathematics and from Physics to present recent progress in meeting such challenges.
