It is a wonderful reality of the Lie theory that the clear-cut orbital geometry of the adjoint action of compact Lie groups on themselves (i.e. the geometry of conjugacy classes) is not only the key to understand the compact theory, but it actually already constitutes the central core of the entire semi-simple theory, as well as that of the symmetric spaces (cf.

Well, one reason of course is that it fills that earlier gap in the tool kit. As Hida would put it, white noise provides us with a useful set of independent coordinates, parametrized by \"time\". And there is a feature which makes white noise analysis extremely user-friendly. Typically the physicist — and not only he — sits there with some heuristic ansatz, like e.g. the famous Feynman \"integral\", wondering whether and how this might make sense mathematically. In many cases the characterization theorem of white noise analysis provides the user with a sweet and easy answer. Feynman's \"integral\" can now be understood, the \"It's all in the vacuum\" ansatz of Haag and Coester is now making sense via Dirichlet forms, and so on in many fields of application. There is mathematical finance, there have been applications in biology, and engineering, many more than we could collect in the present volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, there is one extra benefit: when we internalize the structures of Gaussian white noise analysis we will be ready to meet another close relative.

Let us look forward to a companion volume on the uses of Poisson white noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present volume is more than a collection of autonomous contributions.

The particular form of the PDEs corresponds to a system discussed by Alan Turing and is therefore termed a Turing model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, Turing considered how a reaction-diffusion system can be formulated that does not have the usual smoothing properties of a diffusion (dispersion) system, and can, in fact, develop a spatial variation that might be interpreted as a form of morphogenesis, so he termed the chemicals as morphogens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuring alluded to the important impact computers would have in the study of a morphogenic PDE system, but at the time (1952), computers were still not readily available.
