The main theme of the conference is the interface of real and complex dynamics, real and complex geometry and analysis. The talks of the conference will present recent results on this interface that belong to the area of dynamical systems and to related areas in real and complex geometry and analysis; including holomorphic foliations, finite-dimensional integrable systems, billiards and mathematical physics.

The goal of the conference is to bring together leading experts in the field, along with researchers in the early stage of career and graduate students.

Illinois Chicago. The conference starts at 3pm on Friday 10/20 and ends around noon on Sunday
10/22.

The idea of renormalization emerged in the 1960s in mathematical physics, and revolutionized the field of Statistical Mechanics, where it has become the main tool in the analysis of phase transitions and critical phenomena. In the 1970s, renormalization ideology was transferred to Dynamics due to independent discoveries of universality phenomena by Feigenbaum and Coullet & Tresser. It has since become one of the most powerful tools of understanding small scale structure of a large variety of dynamical systems. Renormalization has become particularly well (and rigorously) developed in the conformal context, in particular, in the geometric problems related to the celebrated MLC Conjecture on the local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set.

This workshop will bring together top experts in the study of renormalization in Dynamics to map out the current state of the art and the new directions in this exciting and rapidly developing field.

NSF IRES: Advanced Studies Institute in Analysis on Fractal Spaces and Dynamical Systems

The Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) with funding from the NSF will host the conference in Uzbekistan on August 4-9, 2023 to be held at Urgench State University. The ASI will engage advanced graduate students in active learning and research at the frontiers of knowledge in broader areas of Analysis and Dynamical Systems. The ASI will serve as a catalyst for future international collaborations that promote, encourage and engage students from underrepresented groups including female students. The ASI lecturers are Mario Bonk (UCLA), Sergey Merenkov (City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center), Mikhail Lyubich (SUNY Stony Brook), Dzmitry Dudko (SUNY Stony Brook), Pekka Pankka (University of Helsinki, Finland), and Sabya Mukherjee (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, India).

The research focus of the ASI will be on contemporary topics in Analysis on Fractal Spaces and Dynamical Systems. Contemporary mathematics has become a truly international endeavor and hence it is important that students grasp this early on and start cementing their international network of researchers. The ASI, through its lectures and research related activities, will serve as a platform to incorporate the latest developments in these areas into education and research for graduate students. We will focus on supporting advanced graduate students and active researchers from a wide variety of colleges and universities in the U.S. The cultural component includes traveling to the ancient Silk Road cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva to learn about the cultural and scientific heritage of Uzbekistan.
