Scientific Overview
In recent years, dynamical properties of group actions have seen many applications
to areas as diverse as rational maps, geometry, low dimensional and geometric
topology, number theory. Such applications have motivated a rapid development of new
tools within the area of dynamical systems, which in turn were used as essential
ingrediences in solutions to long-standing open conjectures in seemingly unrelated
areas of mathematics. The most recent such application is the solution of the virtual
fibred conjecture for closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together leading contributors to these recent
developments in the theory of dynamical systems as well as young researchers who are
interested in exploring the interplay between different fields from the viewpoint of
dynamical systems.
