Research Workshop in Geometry this May
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.…
Some light winter break math reading
Terry Tao has recently made substantial progress on the 3x+1 conjecture. Our own Professor Lagarias is the international go-to expert on this conjecture. Check out this Quanta magazine piece about this progress, which includes Jeff’s comments, here. On the subject of Tao, another Quanta article beautifully conveys the excitement of mathematical discoverywhile telling the story…
