Abstract: The work of the Austin-Brussels group on the microscopic origin of irreversibility is described. Using extensions of the traditional Hilbert space and Poincaré's nonintegrability, we obtain new formulations of laws of dynamics which can be expressed only in terms of probabilities (and not in terms of trajectories or wave functions) and which include time symmetry breaking.
