Brazil U.S. Cooperative Workshop in Dynamical Systems; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 19-28, 2000

这项美国-巴西奖由国际项目部和数学科学部资助，用于资助将于2000年7月在巴西里约热内卢的马蒂马蒂卡学院(IMPA)举行的动力学系统国际研讨会的研讨会。美国的组织者是密歇根州立大学的谢尔顿·E·纽豪斯博士；巴西的协调人是IMPA的马塞洛·维亚纳博士。这一奖项将资助美国数学家参与这两项活动，并支付组织研讨会的费用。研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的动力系统领域的研究人员。动力系统领域涉及到物理、生物、经济和化学等多个领域。将讨论的主题有：一般光滑动力系统的同宿分支和结构；n维实空间和复空间中Riemann球的有理映射和多项式微分同胚的动力学；以及光滑系统的奇异吸引子。

This US-Brazil award supported by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Mathematical Sciences provides funding for a workshop to be held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Dynamical Systems to be held at the Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July, 2000. The U.S. organizer is Dr. Sheldon E. Newhouse of Michigan State University; the Brazilian coordinator is Dr. Marcelo Viana of IMPA. This award will fund participation of U.S. mathematicians in both activities, as well as cover expenses for the organization of the workshop.The workshop will bring together researchers in the area of dynamical systems from all over the world. The field of dynamical systems impacts many areas, such as physics, biology, economics and chemistry. Some of the topics to be discussed are homoclinic bifurcations and the structure of general smooth dynamical systems; dynamics of rational maps of the Riemann sphere and polynomial diffeomorphisms in n-dimensional real and complex spaces; and strange attractors for smooth systems.
