Organisers: Dan Thompson and Thomas Jordan

Monday 20th August – Friday 24th August 2007

Thanks to all the speakers and participants who made this event a success. Some notes from the conference are available below. 

This conference, supported by the University of Warwick ASSEC (American Staff and Student Exchange) Committee and the London Mathematical Society, will bring emminent experts in Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory currently working in the USA to Warwick. One of the aims of the conference is to develop links between dynamical systems researchers from the UK and EU with the USA. The emphasis is particularly on young researchers and postgraduates and the programme will reflect this. The topics covered will include dimension theory, thermodynamic formalism and hyperbolic dynamics.

Mini Courses
We are pleased to announce that our two visiting speakers from the USA who will be giving mini-courses are

Boris Solomyak (Washington) (Topic: Bernoulli convolutions and their random analogs)

Mariusz Urbanski (North Texas) (Topic: Conformal infinite iterated function systems)

They will each give a three one hour lectures. Unfortunately Dmitry Dolgopyat has has to cancel.
