Invitation to Complex Dynamics and Algebraic Surfaces

Department of Mathematics

at Stony Brook University

2nd Biannual Stony Brook Mini-School in Geometry

    Wednesday,
April 9, 2014

Aimed at graduate students and postdocs in both algebraic geometry and dynamics, the mini school will present an introduction to recent developments and open questions in dynamics in two complex dimensions. No previous exposure to dynamics will be assumed.

Schedule

All lectures will take place at Simons Center for geometry and physics, room 102.

How to get here

Directions to Stony Brook and the location of Mathematics department.
If you are driving, please park in a faculty/staff lot, and obtain a visitor permit from the registration desk inside Simons Center.
LIRR train schedule. We recommend the train departing Penn Station at 7.49 am, with a connection at Jamaica at 8.19am, arriving at Stony Brook at 9.43am.

Reimbursements

Lunch and coffee will be provided and we will defray modest travel costs (trains or carpooling) for non-local participants.
To help us process reimbursement, please pool your expenses by asking one person in a group to buy round-trip tickets for everybody, and give us one receipt for reimbursement (with the names of the others), etc.
The lunch and coffee will be subsidized for local participants.
Organized by Eric Bedford, Samuel Grushevsky, Radu Laza, Robert Lazarsfeld.
