Gérard Ben Arous's work began with the study of the geometry of hypo-elliptic operators and their heat kernels, using the tools of stochastic analysis and of large deviations theory. These tools were then used to understand a rather different field i.e. dynamical phase transitions and aging phenomena in statistical physics, and in particular for the dynamics of Spin Glasses, or for the questions of anomalously slow diffusion in random media, which both exhibit a common feature of gradual explor |
