DESCRIPTION:The Becker-Döring equations are a fundamental set of equation
 s that describe the kinetics of first order phase transition\, and are app
 licable to a wide variety of phenomena such as crystallisation\, vapour co
 ndensation and aggregation of lipids.\nWhile the equations can be traced b
 ack to a model from 1935\, a rigorous systematic study of them\, and the l
 ong time behaviour of their solutions\, only appeared around the 80’s in
  works by Ball\, Carr and Penrose.\nIn our talk we will focus on the natur
 al setting of the equations where the existence of\, and convergence to\, 
 a state of equilibrium have been shown. We will use the so-called entropy 
 method to find a quantitative estimation for the rate of this convergence\
 , and see how this relates to the question of a uniform in time bounds of 
 the moments of the solution - another new result we shall discuss.\nThis t
 alk is based on a couple of papers that are a joint work with José Cañiz
 o and Bertrand Lods.
