Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems Workshop

“遍历理论与动力系统研讨会”将于2014年4月3日至6日在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校数学系举行。该工作坊还得到了数学系和文理学院的资助。研讨会的重点是遍历理论中的几个关键问题：特别是应用于不可服从群体的行动的遍历理论和李亚普诺夫指数的研究。主讲人是来自希伯来大学的本杰明·韦斯教授，他是遍历理论领域的专家，研究范围跨越40多年。国家科学基金会为研讨会提供的资金将为年轻研究人员(研究生、博士后研究人员和助理教授)提供支持，特别是来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。年轻的研究人员有足够的机会发言、发言和参加会议活动。该讲习班还努力在数学界产生全球影响。在研讨会的整个存在过程中，参与者来自世界各地。组织者特意招募了来自非洲和最近来自拉丁美洲的与会者和演讲者。此外，研讨会将继续成为美国院校招收发展中国家研究生的成功平台。

The "Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems Workshop" will take place on April 3--6, 2014 in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The workshop has also received financial support from the Department of Mathematics and the College of Arts and Sciences. The workshop focuses on several key topics in ergodic theory: specifically ergodic theory applied to actions of non-amenable groups and a study of Lyapunov exponents. The keynote speaker is Professor Benjamin Weiss from Hebrew University who is an expert in the field of ergodic theory with a research portfolio spanning over 40 years.The NSF funding for the workshop will provide support for younger researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and assistant professors), especially those from under-represented groups. Young researchers are given ample opportunities to speak, to talk and to participate in the conference activities. This workshop also strives to have a global impact in the mathematical community. Throughout the existence of the workshop, participants have come from around the world. The organizers have purposefully recruited participants and speakers from Africa and more recently from Latin America. Additionally, the workshop will continue to serve as a successful platform of recruitment at U.S. institutions for graduate students from developing countries.
