“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.
