Vaughn Climenhaga, a geometer at the University of Houston, wrote to invite you to a workshop there May 15-17, with a preparatory pre-workshop event for graduate students May 13-14. The theme of the workshop is hyperbolicity in dynamical systems, including thermodynamic formalism, statistical properties, partial and non-uniform hyperbolicity, cocycles and rigidity, connections to geometry, and dimension theory. The interaction between different approaches to the study of hyperbolic systems will be of particular interest.
In addition to bringing together researchers in these areas, an important goal of the workshop is to introduce graduate students to recent work in these research areas. The pre-workshop will introduce some of the fundamental ideas that will appear throughout the research talks at the workshop and to prepare the students to engage with the results that are presented at the workshop itself.
They have funding! Even beginning students are encouraged to apply. Apply soon if you are interested. More information here.
