It is a pleasure to announce that our biennial meeting to be held in 2017, will take place in Rome in the week 5-9 June.
It will be sponsored by INdAM with the title
“Workshop INdAM - DinAmicI V - Modern Trends in the Ergodic Theory of Dynamical Systems”
and have agreed to be part of the scientific committee: Carlangelo Liverani, Yakov Sinai and Lai-Sang Young.
More information and a website will appear soon.
The workshop will be held at ICTP, Trieste, 19-23 June 2017. Particular emphasis will be devoted to the core topics which have benefited from the seminal contributions of Yakov Pesin: nonuniform hyperbolicity, dimension theory, thermodynamical formalism.
Speakers: Bunimovich, Buzzi, Denker, Dolgopyat, Hochman, A. Katok, S. Katok, Khanin, Ledrappier, Liverani, Luzzatto, Pesin, Pollicott, F. Rodriguez-Hertz, Sarig, Schmeling, Senti, Shub, Viana, Wilkinson, Zhang
Organizers: Dmitry Dolgopyat, Federico Rodriguez-Hertz, Omri Sarig. Local Organiser: Stefano Luzzatto.

“Ergodicity of Surface Actions via Flag Manifold”
Abstract: This talk is devoted to study the ergodicity of smooth surface actions. We provide a sufficient condition for surface actions to be ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure. First, we address the main results obtained so far for the unit circle, as a main tool in higher dimensional. After that, by introducing the notion of flag manifold, we explain how rich minimality of sufficiently smooth action on the flag manifold may lead to the ergodicity of the initial action.
ICTP and the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM) have launched a joint program of “Research in Pairs” aimed to fund research project in Mathematics to be carried out in collaboration between mathematicians from developing countries and INdAM members either at ICTP in Trieste or in any research unit of INdAM (see the list at https://www.altamatematica.it/it/node/43).
Applications must be submitted using the online system https://e-applications.ictp.it/applicant/login/math_pairs; the deadline is 15 September 2016.

“Geometric constructions of Equilibrium States”
Abstract: In this talk I’ll show a completely different construction of equilibrium states associated to Hölder potentials for hyperbolic systems, and indicate the necessary modifications to deal with certain partially hyperbolic cases. The key point for this extension is avoiding altoghether the use of symbolic dynamics and the Perron-Frobenious method. Time permiting I’ll discuss applications. This is a joint project with F.

“Martingale approximation for parametrised dynamical systems”
Abstract: In joint work with Alexey Korepanov and Zemer Kosloff, we prove statistical limit laws for sequences of the type \(\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}v_n\circ T_n^j\) where \(T_n\) is a family of nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations. The key ingredient is a new martingale-coboundary decomposition for nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations which is useful in the case when the family \(T_n\) is replaced by a fixed transformation \(T\), but which is particularly useful in the case when \(T_n\) varies with \(n\).
Mini-course on Double Resonances on December 12-16, 2016 Jean-Pierre Marco and Vadim Kaloshin will give a mini-course on
Double resonances in the problem of Arnold diffusion
during the week of December 12-16, 2016, in Institut Henri Poincaré (lecture room 201) in Paris. They will address such issues as normal forms along double resonances, singular cylinders, genericity, invariant sets, and local transitivity. The goal is to explain some of the technical details to the audience and to confront their viewpoints.
At the end of the Pisa-Hokkaido, 2016 summer school, there will be a small workshop involving dynamics.
Chaotic phenomena in mathematical models

“Ergodic Ramsey Theory: the Meeting point of Dynamics and Combinatorics”
Abstract: The goal of this talk is to demonstrate the dynamical underpinning of some old and new results in combinatorics and number theory. The results to be discussed include Schur’s theorem on Fermat equation over finite fields, theorems of van der Waerden and Szemeredi on arithmetic progressions and some of modern developments involving multiple recurrence along polynomials and applications to the patterns in primes.
