A Vision for Dynamics in the 21st Century

Leading experts across smooth dynamics and ergodic theory present a broad research perspective and set an agenda for future work.

Many leading experts provide an account of the latest developments across smooth dynamics and ergodic theory and together set an agenda for future work. This book is ideal for graduate students, instructors and researchers across all research areas in dynamical systems and related subjects.A large international conference celebrated the 50-year career of Anatole Katok and the body of research across smooth dynamics and ergodic theory that he touched. In this book many leading experts provide an account of the latest developments at the research frontier and together set an agenda for future work, including an explicit problem list. This includes elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic smooth dynamics, ergodic theory, smooth ergodic theory, and actions of higher-rank groups. The chapters are written in a readable style and give a broad view of each topic; they blend the most current results with the developments leading up to them, and give a perspective on future work. This book is ideal for graduate students, instructors and researchers across all research areas in dynamical systems and related subjects.
