OVERVIEW

The workshops are the 8th in the sequence of annual workshops traditionally held in the month of May at Nipissing University. Among our participants, we expect to have a number of prominent mathematicians from Canada, USA and abroad. In the past, the topics of workshops were primarily around general and geometric topology and related areas. The workshops held in May 2008 focused on the areas where topology, algebra, analysis and dynamical Systems intersect. In this workshop we plan to focus on topological and measure-theoretic methods in dynamical systems.

A list of possible topics includes:

  • Topological and measure-theoretic properties of attractors and basin boundaries
  • Complex dynamics and complex topology
  • Measure-theoretic properties of Julia sets of rational and entire maps
  • Topological models for Julia sets of rational and entire maps
  • Buried points of Julia sets and their topological and measure-theoretic properties
  • Minimal maps on manifolds
  • Dynamics of infinite dimensional groups

The workshops will be for five days. There will be three or four one-hour talks each day. Some of the speakers will give a series of lectures and some may give only one lecture. However, the format of the workshops is designed to maximize the interaction among the participants beyond the lectures. In addition, we plan to have a 1-hour question-and-answer meeting for junior researchers and students with the day's speakers each afternoon.
