Emphasis Year in Dynamical Systems at Northwestern University

该奖项将支持计划在2010-11学年在西北大学的“动力系统重点年”的活动。重点年，由数学系西北部的部分资助，将具有长期和短期访问学者，在动力系统的博士后职位，以及每年的中西部动力系统会议。学期的计划是围绕遍历理论，离散群作用，哈密顿动力学，光滑和几何动力学的研究领域，其组织主题是“未来十年的动态趋势”。“这一主题将指导今年的活动，并将成为2011年春季举行的最后一次重大会议的标题和重点。这笔资金将用于支持部门的访客和会议的参与者，增加学科内和跨学科的合作。大部分资金将用于年轻的数学家，特别是博士后研究员，研究生和初级教师，他们没有自己的支持来源。

This award will support activities during a planned "Emphasis Year in Dynamical Systems" at Northwestern University during the 2010-11 academic year. The emphasis year, funded in part by the Northwestern Department of Mathematics Department, will feature both long- and short-term visiting scholars, postdoctoral positions in dynamical systems, and the annual Midwest Dynamical Systems Conference.The semester's programs are specifically organized around the research areas of ergodic theory, discrete group actions, Hamiltonian dynamics, and smooth and geometric dynamics, with an organizing theme of "Trends in Dynamics for the Coming Decade." This theme will guide the events of the year and will be the title and focus of a concluding major conference to be held in Spring 2011. The funding will be used to support both visitors to the department and participants in the conference, increasing collaboration within and across disciplines. Much of the funding will be directed to young mathematicians, particularly postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and junior faculty, who do not have their own sources of support.
