From Sunday, June 22 to Sunday, June 29, 2008 a summer school on conformal structures and related topics will take place at the University of Goettingen. The focus of the workshop is on aspects of dynamical systems in higher dimensions, in particular in connection with the topics of the RTNetwork CODY on 'Conformal Structures and Dynamics'.
Scientific Committee: The Scientific Committee of CODY:
Feliks Przytycki (chair), Kari Astala, Michael Benedicks, Manfred Denker, Stas Smirnov, Sebastian van Strien.
Local Organization: Hartje Kriete, Manfred Denker, Walter Bergweiler.
Program:
Eric Bedford (Indiana University): Dynamics of holomorphic surface maps. (3 lectures)
Vadim Kaimanovich (Jacobs University Bremen): Random graphs and equivalence relations. (3 lectures)
Anton Zorich (Rennes University): Geometry and dynamics of flat surfaces. (3 lectures)
Additional talks: We plan five one-hour talks and sixteen half-hour talks by participants.
Wednesday afternoon and Saturday is reserved for excursion and scientific discussions.
Location: The workshop will take place in different lecture halls in the Mathematics Institute of the university. It offers an open access to its library with ample working space. For the location of the institute contact https://num.math.uni-goettingen.de/~summer/cody/
