Minisemester
Modern Dynamics and its Interaction with Analysis, Geometry and Number Theory
June 27 – July 24, 2011, Będlewo
The main aim of the summer school is to provide to participants modern methods of dynamical systems oriented to applications in analysis, geometry and number theory. This area is one of best developing in modern mathematics; one of the leaders of this area, Elon Lindenstrauss, was awarded Fields Medal during the last ICM (India, Hydebarad). The concluding workshop will sum up the current scientific knowledge of the subject.
First week courses are aimed at the beginning and middle years Ph.D. students who have good knowledge of real analysis and basic topology but may not have sufficient familiarity with basics of dynamics and the theory of Lie groups. The goal is to bring participants at the level necessary to participate in the advanced courses.
In addition to the participants of week 1 advanced courses are aimed at advanced graduate students, your researchers working in dynamical systems and related areas as well as to mathematicians of all ages interested in various aspects of the subjects. There is no requirement to take all advanced courses simultaneously. In fact it is expected that each participant will participate on the average in four courses out of six.
Financial support toward local expenses for a restricted number of participants will be available.
The minisemester is supported by Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center (part of the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences), Center for Dynamics and Geometry at Penn State University, National Science Foundation and Nicolaus Copernicus University.
