This conference "Recent Trends in Ergodic Theory, Symbolic Dynamics, and Connections to Combinatorics", will be held at Northwestern University. It will celebrate Bryna Kra’s 60th birthday and her profound contributions to ergodic theory, symbolic dynamics, and their connections to combinatorics and number theory.

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.

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.
