In recent years great progress has been made in the study of dispersive and wave equations.? Over the years the toolbox used in order to attack? highly nontrivial problems related to these equations has developed to include a variety of techniques including Fourier and harmonic analysis, analytic number theory, math physics, dynamical systems, probability and symplectic geometry. In this talk I will introduce a variety of problems connected with dispersive and wave equations, such as the derivation of a certain? nonlinear Schrodinger equation from a quantum many-particles system, periodic Strichartz estimates, the concept of energy transfer, the invariance of a Gibbs measure associated to an infinite dimension Hamiltonian system and, if time permits, non-squeezing theorems for such systems when they? also enjoy a symplectic structure.
