The conference will be held at the Banff Center, with some participants staying at the adjacent Banff International Research Station.
Objectives:
To foster interaction among researchers in holomorphic dynamics and allied fields such as several complex variables, Teichmüller theory, self-similar groups, arithmetic dynamics, symbolic dynamics, hyperbolic and algebraic geometry, statistical physics, etc.
To use this interaction for designing new mathematical tools that can aid in the progress in holomorphic dynamics, especially in understanding and building models of multi-dimensional parameter spaces.
To involve graduate students and younger researchers into discussions with more senior mathematicians. This interaction will be beneficial for their scientific growth, and will inject new fresh ideas into the field.
To celebrate John Milnor's 80th birthday: his influence on the field of holomorphic dynamics cannot be overestimated.
