Ergodic Theory and Related Felds Workshops

我们计划在遍历理论和相关领域举办两次研讨会。对于这两个研讨会，我们预计主要的会谈和讲座或迷你课程，将给予最近的突破点的遍历平均值沿着收敛的整数为L1函数。除了关于基本遍历主题的迷你课程外，我们试图在这些研讨会的四天内将年轻（研究生，博士后，助理教授）和高级研究人员聚集在一起。我们期待来自调和分析、遍历理论、概率论和数论等相互关联的研究领域的数学家之间的讨论，以帮助进一步推动这些问题的最新进展。正在寻找来自非洲和代表性不足的群体的数学家，并邀请他们参加或发言。在过去讲习班的帮助下，联合国大学教堂山分校与加纳夸梅·恩克鲁玛科技大学建立了合作关系。作为这一合作的一部分，两名研究生和KNUST数学系主任将参加2008年和2009年的讲习班。受邀请的参与者（美国，法国，德国，俄罗斯，以色列，加拿大和非洲）的地理位置所提供的广泛范围增加了查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学的知名度。它还有助于传播在这些讲习班上提出或讨论的结果。最后，我们希望这些研讨会的程序将出版的当代数学是与过去的研讨会的情况。

We are planning two workshops in the area of Ergodic theory and Related Fields. For these two workshops we anticipate the major talks and lectures or mini courses to be given on the recent breakthroughs on the pointwise convergence of ergodic averages along subsequences of integers for L1 functions. To the exception of mini courses to be given on basic ergodic themes we are trying to bring together young (graduate students, Post Doc, Assistant professors) and senior researchers during the four days of these workshops. We expect discussions between mathematicians from interconnected research areas, such as Harmonic Analysis, Ergodic theory, Probability theory and Number theory, to help further the recent progress made on these questions.Mathematicians from Africa and under-represented groups are being looked for and invited to attend or to speak. By the help of past workshops collaboration has been established between UNC-Chapel Hill and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in GHANA. As part of this collaboration two graduate students and the Head of KNUST mathematics Department will participate in the 2008 and 2009 workshops. The broad spectrum given by the geographical location of the invited participants (USA, France, Germany, Russia, Israel, Canada, and Africa) adds visibility to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It also helps disseminate the results presented or discussed at these workshops. Finally we expect the proceedings of these workshops to be published by Contemporary Mathematics as was the case with past workshops.
