International Conference on Dynamical Systems – Dedicated to The Memory of Jacob Palis
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
August 24-28, 2026

The International Conference on Dynamical Systems is an event that has been organized since 1981, with a four-year periodicity, though irregularly dram. Its main objective is to bring together world-renowned in the field of Dynamical Systems — an area in which IMPA has played a fundamental role, consolidating a school with its own identity and foster strong research groups throughout Brazil and Latin America.

In this context, Jacob Palis was a central figure in this process of development. In light of his recent pass, we dedicate this edition of the conference to his memory, in tribute to his trajectory and legacy.

The topics addressed will highlight Jacob Palis’s prolific contributions to Dynamical Systems and to Mathematics in general, without, however, being limited to them, also encompassing other areas related.

Financial Support: The Organizing Committee has limited funds for financial support and will assistance for students prioritize. Applicants must upload, with the registration form, a CV brief in PDF format and a statement of purpose. The deadline to apply for financial support is June 11, 2026.

Dynamical Renormalization and MLC: January 4 – March 5, 2027
Simons Center for Geometry and Physics
January 4 – March 5, 2027

Since its introduction 50 years ago, the concept of Dynamical Renormalization (originally motivated by Renormalization in Physics) has become a fundamental tool in Dynamical Systems. The Program highlights recent advances of this theme, with a particular focus on the MLC Conjecture (the local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set), a central open problem in contemporary Holomorphic Dynamics. Related and parallel topics include circle and rational higher-degree Dynamics, 2D Dynamics (real and complex, dissipative and conservative), the spectral theory of the Schrödinger operator with almost periodic potential.

This event will also host a workshop: Half a century of Dynamical Renormalization: February 8 – 12, 2027.

Half a century of Dynamical Renormalization: February 8 – 12, 2027
Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Stony Brook
February 8 – 12, 2027

The goal of the Workshop is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of Renormalization in Dynamical Systems.

Fifty years ago, the Renormalization was introduced in Dynamics in the works of Feigenbaum, Coullet and Tresser. Today, the renormalization ideas have penetrated deeply into many areas of Mathematics and Physics, though an explicit relation between various areas often remains elusive. In the case of the Mandelbrot set, the MLC Conjecture has been essentially reduced to the justification of renormalization control for all quadratic polynomials.
