This volumepresents a collection of papers covering applications from a wide range ofsystems with infinitely many degrees of freedom studied using techniques fromstochastic and infinite dimensional analysis, e.g. Feynman path integrals, thestatistical mechanics of polymer chains, complex networks, and quantum fieldtheory. Systems of infinitely many degrees of freedom create their particularmathematical challenges which have been addressed by different mathematicaltheories, namely in the theories of stochastic processes, Malliavin calculus,and especially white noise analysis.Theseproceedings are inspired by a conference held on the occasion of Prof. LudwigStreit’s 75th birthday and celebrate his pioneering and ongoing work in thesefields.

Analysis, modeling, and simulation for better understanding of diverse complex natural and social phenomena often require powerful tools and analytical methods. Tractable approaches, however, can be developed with mathematics beyond the common toolbox. This book presents the white noise stochastic calculus, originated by T Hida, as a novel and powerful tool in investigating physical and social systems. The calculus, when combined with Feynman's summation-over-all-histories, has opened new avenues for resolving cross-disciplinary problems. Applications to real-world complex phenomena are further enhanced by parametrizing non-Markovian evolution of a system with various types of memory functions. This book presents general methods and applications to problems encountered in complex systems, scaling in industry, neuroscience, polymer physics, biophysics, time series analysis, relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum systems.
