| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Last fiscal year, within the scope of my research plan on understanding plasticity through the limit passage of microscopic particle systems (which consists of 3 parts: (A) convergence rates, (B) particle annihilation and (C) atomistic models), I got 3 papers published, 1 accepted and 2 submitted; all of which to highly respected peer-reviewed journals.
The first published paper completes part (B) in the one-dimensional case: it establishes the continuum limit for an interacting particle system in which particles of opposite sign can annihilate one another. It got published in one of the best journals in the field. The second published paper applies my previous achievements on (A) to obtain sharper estimates in approximation theory. One of the submitted papers reveals the connection between the particle system of this published paper and a quasi atomistic model (as in (C)).
Concerning the remaining four papers (one published, one accepted and two submitted), two of them establish the continuum limit (hydrodynamic limit) of stochastic interacting particle systems involving both annihilation and creation, which fits to (C). The accepted paper ensures local existence and uniqueness of certain singular ODEs with tools from dynamical systems, which provide a new framework for studying particle collisions in part (B) in higher dimensions.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Half of the goals in the proposal have been completed in the published papers. These papers have sparked several follow-up problems related to projects (A), (B) and (C) in the proposal. I am currently working on 6 such problems.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I will continue the 6 problems mentioned in the "Current Status" section, and aim to submit 5 of them as papers to highly respected peer-reviewed journals during FY 2023. These papers will not reach all goals set out in projects (A), (B) and (C) in the proposal, but I believe that they make good progress towards them.

| Causes of Carryover |
I bought a powerful computer to perform simulations with a high computational capacity. This has been very helpful with my research so far. I was hoping to go on more business trips than I ended up doing, which was due to the long travel restrictions in the first part of the fiscal year.
In fiscal year 2023 the travel restrictions are finally lifted, and I intend to visit conferences and recover/extend my international network.
