Emphasis Year in Dynamical Systems at Northwestern University

该奖项将支持西北大学2010-2011学年计划中的“动力系统重点年”的活动。重点年由西北数学系部分资助，将包括长期和短期访问学者、动力系统博士后职位，以及一年一度的中西部动力系统会议。本学期的课程专门围绕遍历理论、离散群体作用、哈密顿动力学、光滑和几何动力学等研究领域进行组织，组织主题为“未来十年的动力学趋势”。这一主题将指导本年度的活动，并将成为将于2011年春季举行的最后一次主要会议的标题和重点。这笔资金将用于支持新闻部的访问者和会议的参与者，加强学科内和学科间的合作。大部分资金将流向年轻的数学家，特别是博士后研究员、研究生和初级教员，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.
