The goal of this project is to develop a set of tools with which to study a large class of dynamical systems. The systems in this large class come from different places, from bouncing balls in polygons to the crystalography of exotic crystals, to name a few. These have been studied using different techniques. The goal here is to show that the systems in this large class have common properties and to develop a point of view which applies to all systems in this class.More specifically, the proposed project aims at developing a more unified theory of ergodic properties of translation actions on certain foliated spaces. The best known of these systems are translation flows on flat surfaces. A key tool used to study these systems is the use of renormalization flows on moduli spaces obtained through geometric deformations of the foliated spaces. This project seeks to introduce these tools and ideas to the study of the dynamics of other (usually higher rank) translation actions. For example, the subject of quasicrystals, aperiodic tilings and Delone sets is a particularly good one in which to apply the ideas used in Teichmüller dynamics. In particular, the relationship between ergodic theory, cohomology, and geometric deformation, which has been exploited in the study of flat surfaces, can also be exploited to study the properties of systems coming from quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings. Tools used in the study of tilings such as non-commutative geometry can also be used to study translation flows on flat surfaces including those of infinite type. This cross-fertilization of fields will be mutually beneficial.

该项目的目标是开发一套工具，用于研究一大类动力系统。 这个大类中的系统来自不同的地方，从多边形中的弹跳球到奇异晶体的晶体学，仅举几例。 这些已经使用不同的技术进行了研究。这里的目标是要表明，在这个大类的系统有共同的属性，并制定一个观点，适用于所有系统在这个class.更具体地说，拟议的项目旨在发展一个更统一的理论遍历性质的翻译行动在某些叶空间。 这些系统中最著名的是平面上的平移流。 研究这些系统的一个关键工具是使用重整化流通过几何变形的叶状空间得到的模空间。 本项目旨在将这些工具和思想引入到其他（通常是更高级别的）翻译行为的动态研究中。 例如，准晶体、非周期镶嵌和Delone集的主题是一个特别好的主题，可以应用Teichmüller动力学中使用的思想。 特别是，遍历理论，上同调和几何变形之间的关系，这已被利用在研究平面，也可以利用来研究系统的性质来自准晶和非周期性平铺。 用于研究平铺的工具，如非交换几何，也可以用于研究平面上的平移流，包括无限类型的平移流。这种领域的相互促进将是互利的。
