This project will study infinite particle systems.  These                  systems are used as models in many diverse fields such as                       statistical physics, chemistry, computer science and population                 genetics.  The model offers many challenging problems to a                      mathematician.                                                                       The research proposes a simple but rich model exhibiting                   many new interesting properties.  A specific such models runs in                to a paradox due to metastability.  A physical system is                        metastable if it settles down to an apparent equilibrium, stays                 there for a very long time, and then eventually makes a sudden                  transition to its true invariant state.  Extensive computer                     graphics work will be done to study these complex systems.                      Coputer graphics will also be used to explain the work to wider                 audiences.
