  • The Triennial Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium
    May 8-11, 2008
    Rutgers-Newark

    This is the next in a series of triennial colloquia devoted to the mathematical legacy of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers. The core of this legacy concerns geometric function theory, quasiconformal mapping, Teichmuller theory and Kleinian groups, hyperbolic manifolds, and partial differential equations including Schram/Stochastic-Loewner-Evolution/Equations. In addition the work of Alhfors and Bers has had an impact on algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, dynamics, geometric group theory, number theory and topology.

    Plenary speakers include:

    Alex Eskin (Chicago)
    David Gabai (Princeton)
    William Goldman (Maryland)
    Ursula Hamenstadt (Bonn)
    Christopher Leininger (Urbana)

  • Dynamical Systems: Pure and applied Hamiltonian Dynamics
    June 16-20 2008
    Lisbon

    The Collab Mathematics Summer School is a yearly event that aims at bringing together Ph.D. students and junior faculty with well known experts in the several areas of mathematics.
    For this first summer school, will be held in the Mathematics Department of Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, from June 16-20, 2008. This year we have chosen the topic "Dynamical Systems" with particular emphasis on pure and applied Hamiltonian dynamics. The faculty for this school (B. Engquist, A. Fathi, R. de la Llave and Konstantin Khanin) are internationally known experts. We believe that their courses will be extremely useful for Ph.D. students, postdocs and established researchers who would like to broaden their knowledge in this very active area of research.

  • Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference
    Ulam Centennial Conference
    March 7-11, 2009
    Gainesville, FL


    As a consequence of some other events here in Gainesville the Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference has some early deadlines this year.

    January 20: Deadline for lodging at conference rates.
    February 21: Deadline for abstract submission.
    February 21: Deadline for preregistration.
    March 7-9: STDC09 in Gainesville, FL.

    For more information see the conference web pages http://www.math.ufl.edu/stdculam/

    Note on Lodging:
    This year's STDC will take place on Saturday through Monday, instead of the more usual Thursday through Saturday format. This change was forced on us by binding constraints in Gainesville. First, to obtain classroom space the meeting has to take place during our Spring Break, March 7-15. Second, there is a very popular drag car race, the Gatornationals, in town March 12-15. Motel rooms are much harder to find and much more expensive during the Gatornationals. We have worked hard to negotiate decent rates during the time of the conference. If you do not have a room booked by the deadline it is likely that you will be unable to find a room close to Gainesville for less than $200 a night.

    You may be able to find what appear to be better rates on-line for local hotels. However, we have already had the experience that we booked at a lower on-line rate only to be told later that the system had not been updated to reflect "special event pricing". You may be able to hold a hotel or booking service to their initial price, but in our experience we have found that never happens: they tell you that all rates are subject to change. We strongly suggest you book a back-up room directly with the hotels at the conference rate so that you will not be unpleasantly surprised as the date grows closer. You can cancel whichever turns out to be the most expensive rate.

  • International Workshop on Resonance Oscillations and Stability of Nonsmooth Systems
    June 16-25, 2009
    Imperial College London


    Mathematical research on resonance oscillations in nonsmooth systems has seen a steady growth in attention lately, and due to recent progress a number of technically relevant open problems concerning resonances of nonsmooth mechanical and physical systems have become in reach of being resolved. The object of the meeting is to explore the current power and open problems of the theory of resonance oscillations and stability of nonsmooth systems (Lipschitz, discontinuous, impulsive) by bringing together different research groups working in the field as well as by organizing discussions with relevant industrial experts. The first part of the workshop (four days: 16-19 June) will be formal, with a full schedule of invited and contributed talks. In contrast, the 2nd part (four days: 22-25 June) will be more informal, with discussion sessions on specific problems aimed at developing new research collaborations.



  • Dynamics and Geometry of Teichmuller space
    honoring the 60th birthday of Howard Masur
    CIRM in Luminy (France)
    June 22 - 26, 2009


    We shall try to follow the tradition of the conference on a similar subject held in Luminy in 2003. In particular, we are planning to have four one-hour talks a day: two talks in the morning (at 10:00 and at 11:15) and two talks in the afternoon (16:00 and 17:15) keeping Thursday afternoon free.

    We have preliminary confirmations of the following speakers:

    A. Avila
    J. Brock
    B. Farb
    G. Forni
    A. Eskin
    U. Hamenstaedt
    P. Hubert
    C. Leininger
    Y. Minsky
    M. Mirzakhani
    C. McMullen
    M. Moeller
    A. Okounkov
    K. Rafi
    J. Smillie
    B. Weiss
    S. Wolpert
    J.-C. Yoccoz

    We hope that a schedule of four one-hour lectures a day would leave enough time for direct contacts and discussions and for exploring the beauty of the natural park of Luminy, of its mountains, and of its famous calanques (Mediterranean fjords).

    A short school (Thursday-Friday-Saturday, June 18-20) preceding the conference destined to young researchers (mostly graduate students) is intended to help them to get prepared for the conference.

    For further details, see the conference webpage: http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~masur60

    Hoping to see you in Luminy this summer

  • Announcements
    MICHAEL BRIN PRIZE IN DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

    Professor Michael Brin of the University of Maryland has endowed an international prize for outstanding work in the theory of dynamical systems and related areas. The prize will be given for specific mathematical achievements that appear as a single or a series of publications in refereed journals, proceedings or monographs.

    The goal of the prize is to recognize mathematicians who have made substantial impact in the field at an early stage of their careers. Normally the recipients should be no more than twelve years from Ph.D.

    The prize includes an award of $15000. Expenses for the recipient's trip to the award ceremony will also be covered from the prize endowment fund.

    The prize will be awarded biennially by an international committee of experts. The inaugural committee includes the following members:


    Jean Bourgain, Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton katok_a@math.psu.edu
    John N. Mather, Princeton University jnm@Math.Princeton.edu
    Yakov Pesin, Penn State University pesin@math.psu.edu
    Marina Ratner, University of California at Berkeley ratner@Math.Berkeley.edu
    Marcelo Viana, IMPA, Rio de Janeiro viana@impa.br
    Benjamin Weiss, Hebrew University of Jerusalem weiss@math.huji.ac.il

    Nominations for the prize will be made by committee members. The committee will seek informal input from the mathematical community concerning potential candidates for the prize.

    The first prize will be awarded in March 2008 at the Spring 2008 Maryland meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics dedicated to Professor Brin sixtieth birthday.

    Subsequent prizes will be awarded in the fall of each odd year starting form 2009. The venue for presentation of those awards has been fixed as the Fall Penn State meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics but it may change in the future. Award ceremony will include a one-hour lecture about the winner's work by a leading expert in the area. This lecture will be later published in Journal of Modern Dynamics.
