The study of phase transitions is one of the fundamental problems
of physics. The goal of this seminar was to understand better the
spectacular progress made recently in constructing continuum
models. Concentrating on a few examples such as the microstructure
of crystals, defects in liquid crystals and liquid-vapor
interfaces, several key points are described, for example the
structure and evolution of the interfaces, regularization via
interfacial energy, and equilibrium theories. The mathematical
treatment of these questions involves large-oscillation theories
(Young's measures, compensated compactness), spectral theory,
admissibility of shock waves, long-time behavior of dynamical
systems, high-order perturbations, group actions, solitons, and
others.
