MASCOS Workshop on Algebraic Dynamics




University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
February 14 - February 18, 2005



Algebraic Dynamics is broadly taken to be the intersection of dynamical systems with algebra, number theory and geometry. The goal of this workshop is twofold: to bring people from neighbouring research areas in algebraic dynamics together for a fruitful exchange of ideas and to introduce some exciting new developments in algebraic dynamics to the Australian mathematics community including graduate students.

    Scope:

    The workshop will feature invited lectures and some contributed talks. Topics covered by the invited lecturers include:

  • Algebraic structures of Zd-actions (Schmidt, Lind)
  • Dynamical systems and aperiodic order (Moody, Lenz)
  • Universal statistics and random matrices (Götze, Forrester)
  • Dynamics of rational maps over finite fields (Shparlinsky, Vivaldi)
  • Piecewise isometries (Goetz)
  • Costs of equivalence relations and group actions (Dooley)
  • The 3x+1 problem (Wirsching)

  • Titles, Abstracts and Selected Talks/Papers
