This workshop will include overview talks of application of asymptotics and perturbation theory techniques in (wave transport or oscillation related) astrophysics and cosmology eigenvalue problems. In addition, there will be introductory talks about fundamental asymptotics and perturbation theory techniques used in theoretical physics.
The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to identify problems in astrophysics and related fields including, but not limited to, stellar structure and evolution, black holes and high-energy physics which can be solved using existing asymptotics and perturbation theory methods in theoretical physics problems (e.g. quantum field theory, gravity), and vice versa.
It will also feature hands-on Mathematica or Python tutorials which demonstrate:
- practical use of WKB methods
- resummation methods and resurgence
- deriving black hole quasinormal modes
- deriving normal modes in stars
- reducing numerical artefacts in hydrodynamics solvers
by examples.
