This workshop will focus on the interplay between dynamics, rigidity, and arithmetic in hyperbolic geometry and related areas. There have been many striking developments in recent years, particularly related to totally geodesic submanifolds in both finite and infinite volume hyperbolic and even complex hyperbolic manifolds.
One aim of this workshop is to expose young researchers to these breakthroughs providing them with the necessary background from dynamics, and geometry to allow them to appreciate some of these recent advances, and prepare them to make new original contributions. For this purpose, we will have minicourses on "Arithmeticity, Superrigidity and totally geodesic manifolds", and "Rigidity and geodesic planes in infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds". These courses will be preceded by an introductory minicourse on Hyperbolic geometry. We will also have a minicourse on "Understanding of geodesic planes in hyperbolic 3-manifolds via computations and visualization". In addition, we wish to bring together experts in these fields to discuss the recent developments and open problems that lie at the crossroads of these different fields and to encourage more interaction among people working in these diverse areas.
