Continued Fractions, Interval Exchanges and Applications to Geometry

June 11-14th, 2013
at the "Centro di Ricerca Ennio De Giorgi", Pisa, Italy


Participants are requested to register on the website of the conference:  Registration

We would also like to inform you that on this occasion we will make some funds available to offer financial support to a number of
selected young researchers and students.  If you wish to propose a contributed talk, please send an abstract to dynsys.pisa@gmail.com.

***Deadlines***
* Application for financial support and talk proposal: March 31th
* Registration: May 25th

The workshop will focus on the interplay between dynamical systems and arithmetic, and in particular on the study of arithmetic algorithms of significance in dynamics and geometry. Since the discovery of a relation between the continued fraction algorithm and the geodesic flow on the modular surface, a vast field of research has developed whose main goal is to understand the dynamics of geometric flows in terms of discrete arithmetic algorithms. Of particular importance in this picture are interval exchange transformations, which code the Teichmuller geodesic flow. In the workshop, we will discuss recent developments in the metric theory of continued fractions and their various generalizations (one- and multidimensional), as well as interval exchange maps and their applications to Teichmuller theory.

We are looking forward to your participation.

The organizers,
Stefano Marmi, Carlo Carminati, Giulio Tiozzo

Topological and Combinatorial Problems in One-dimensional Complex Dynamics
October 14, 2013 - October 18, 2013
Pisa, Italy

One dimensional complex dynamics involves the usage of many different tools taken from other areas of mathematics. We would like to focus on the interaction of holomorphic dynamics with topology on one side, and with combinatorics on the other side. The goal of this workshop is to investigate this two themes from the threefold view-point of local dynamics, dynamics of transcendental maps, and dynamics of rational maps, emphasizing the similarities between these problems in the three settings. This will outline a fairly complete summary of the current topological and combinatorial methods available in the three areas, with the hope of suggesting new applications. Emphasis will be on open problems and interrelations between the two major themes of the workshop. A side goal is to encourage the participation of graduate students and recent PhD's in the field. The workshop is partially supported by GNAMPA.

The organizing committee is:
Anna Miriam Beninin, Carlo Carminati, Nuria Fagella
