MICHAEL BRIN PRIZE IN DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
Conferences
|
The conference will take place at the Treasure Mountain Inn,
located in downtown Park City, Utah.
The website for the conference is
http://www.math.byu.edu/info/rmdss.php
The first three days for the conference (May 12-14) will be primarily
devoted to deterministic dynamics and the final two days (May 15-16) will
be primarily devoted to stochastic dynamics.
There is no registration fee for the conference, but we ask that you
register for the conference through the web site.
There is some support for attendees, especially for graduate students,
post-docs, and others without external support. The conference is
partially supported by the NSF and Brigham Young University. More
information will be forthcoming.
For additional information see the website

Deadline
February 29, 2008: For both submission of abstracts and early registration.
Organizing committee:
From Sunday, June 22 to Sunday, June 29, 2008 a summer school on conformal structures and related topics will take place at the University of Göttingen. The focus of the workshop is on aspects of dynamical systems in higher dimensions, in particular in connection with the topics of the RTNetwork CODY on 'Conformal Structures and Dynamics'.
Scientific Committee: The Scientific Committee of CODY:
Feliks Przytycki (chair), Kari Astala, Michael Benedicks, Manfred Denker, Stas Smirnov, Sebastian van Strien.
Local Organization: Hartje Kriete, Manfred Denker, Walter Bergweiler.
Program:
Eric Bedford (Indiana University): Dynamics of holomorphic surface maps. (3 lectures)
Vadim Kaimanovich (Jacobs University Bremen): Random graphs and equivalence relations. (3 lectures)
Anton Zorich (Rennes University): Geometry and dynamics of flat surfaces. (3 lectures)
Additional talks: We plan five one-hour talks and sixteen half-hour talks by participants.
Wednesday afternoon and Saturday is reserved for excursion and scientific discussions.
Location: The workshop will take place in different lecture halls in the Mathematics Institute of the university. It offers an open access to its library with ample working space. For the location of the institute contact http://www.math.uni-goettingen.de/
Registration: by e-mail to denker@math.uni-goettingen.de with cc to Kriete@math.uni-goettingen.de
Please provide the following information: Full name, affiliation, duration of stay, accommodation requested or not, node of the CODY Network (in case it applies), title and abstract of talk (if it applies), financial support needed (amount).
Financial Support: Members of nodes of CODY will get their local costs in Göttingen reimbursed by the German node Kiel (W. Bergweiler) and their travel expenses by their nodes. Other participants may be eligible for partial support (one criterion for eligibility is that the participant contributes a talk on the topic of the workshop).
Additional activities:
1. Workshop in Bremen, June 16-20, 2008, on "Aspects of transcendental dynamics".
2. Workshop in Göttingen June 23 to July 11 on dynamical systems and related topics for students, PhD students and PostDocs with minicourses on 6 topics in dynamics. Lectures are given by: M. Denker, J. Kotus (Warsaw), J. Schmeling (Lund), B.O. Stratmann (St. Andrews), Y. Pesin (PennState University), H. Weiss (Gergia Tech), Z. Nitecki (Tufts University), M. Gordin (St. Petersburg), C. Series (Warwick) and others.
The course is addressed mainly to Post-Docs and young researchers.
The deadline for applications is April 30, 2008. A limited financial
support will be granted to some of the participants.

The Summer School is a joint venture of Centro Internacional de Matematica (CIM) and the University of Coimbra, and is sponsored by the Gulbenkian Foundation and the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). It will gather a group of specialists working on Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory, and will highlight emerging trends and issues of main research topics.
The University of Coimbra provides lodging in university residences and offers the meals at University canteens for up to 80 PhD students and postdocs. Additionally, a few scholarships are available to cover the travel expenses of selected PhD students and postdocs presenting a short communication.
Courses:
* Lorenzo J. Diaz (PUC-Rio, Brazil) - Partially hyberbolic dynamics
* Carlangelo Liverani (Univ. Roma Tor Vergata, Italy) -
Probability and uniformly hyperbolic systems
* Nuno Luzia (Univ. Nova de Lisboa, Portugal) - Fractional dimensions
* Marcelo Viana (IMPA, Brazil) - Geodesic flows on flat surfaces
