Oxtoby Centennial Conference
Bryn Mawr campus
October 30 - 31, 2010

Bryn Mawr College will host a conference on the occasion of John Oxtoby's centennial on the Bryn Mawr campus. The Saturday conference will have three parts. The first part consists of morning talks in dynamics addressed to mathematicians, the second part consists of two early afternoon talks addressed to a general audience, with undergraduate students specially encouraged to attend. The third part consists of mid to late afternoon research talks in dynamics. The Sunday conference will consist of a morning session of talks in dynamics. The speakers include Tim Austin, Ethan Akin, Robert Devaney, Jane Hawkins, Fern Hunt, Mike Keane, Dan Mauldin, Nelson Markley, Kyewon Park, V.S. Prasad, and Susan Williams.

There will be a banquet Saturday night on the Bryn Mawr campus. Please see the following website for information and registration.

Prairie Analysis Seminar 2010
University of Kansas, Lawrence KS
October 29 - 30, 2010

Principal Lecturer: John Erik Fornaess
Invited Speakers: Marco Abate and Loredana Lanzani

This seminar is the tenth in a sequence of yearly analysis meetings organized each fall by the Departments of Mathematics at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. The goal is to provide an opportunity for scientific exchange and cooperation among analysts.

There will be time allocated for short contributed talks by participants. Priority will be given to graduate and postdoctoral students and those in early stages of their careers.

Some support for participants provided by National Science Foundation will be available. The information is now posted in the conference website.

A Conference on Conformal Dynamics and Hyperbolic Geometry to celebrate the contributions of Linda Keen
The Graduate Center of CUNY
October 21-23, 2010

Dynamical Systems and Related Topics Workshop
Penn State University Park
October 21-24, 2010

The 21st Fall meeting of the Workshop in Dynamical Systems and Related Topics will take place on October 21 - 24, 2010. All lectures will be at the Mathematics Department (McAllister building) at the Penn State University Park campus.

This workshop first met at Penn State University in the spring of 1991. It has been hosted by Penn State University each fall since then, and each spring since 1992 by the University of Maryland, and is jointly sponsored by the two institutions. The basic funding of the workshop is provided by an NSF grant. Additional funding for this meeting, is provided by the Center for Dynamics and Geometry at Penn State.

CODY Autumn in Warsaw
Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN), Warsaw, Poland
1 October - 10 December 2010

Local organisers: Krzysztof Baranski (University of Warsaw), Feliks Przytycki (Polish Academy of Sciences), Michal Rams (Polish Academy of Sciences)

The event is a part of the activities of the Marie-Curie Research Training Network Conformal Structures and Dynamics (CODY) and the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN). The mini-semester will concern all the topics of CODY, though we shall concentrate mainly on topics in which Warsaw team (in cooperation with other teams) is involved. These include:

Iterated function systems, deterministic and random, conformal or non-conformal; methods of thermodynamical formalism. Iteration of analytic maps, Julia sets. Conformal and Hausdorff measures and dimensions for various classes of Julia sets. Harmonic measures. Low-dimensional dynamics.

We plan a number of lectures by invited speakers and two or three workshops, held in the IMPAN Institute in Warsaw. The already scheduled workshops are:

Fractals in deterministic and random dynamics
(11-16 October 2010)
organisers: M. Rams and J. Schmeling

Low-dimensional dynamics
(15-20 November 2010)
organisers: F. Przytycki, S. van Strien and M. Zinsmeister

We have financial means to cover local costs for a considerable number of participants, to participate in the workshops and also to come for a longer stay.

All participants are kindly asked to fill in the registration form on the conference web page.

Conference on Moduli Spaces
University of Strasbourg
September 2-4, 2010

Teichmüller Theory and its Interactions in Mathematics and Physics
Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, Bellaterra, Spain
June 28 - July 3, 2010

Call for Applications/Papers -

Chairs: Shigeyuki Morita, University of Tokyo, JP; Robert C. Penner University of Aarhus, DK & USC, US & Athanase Papadopoulos, Strasbourg University, FR

This ESF-EMS-ERCOM Conference aims to highlight some of the most important advances in Teichmüller theory. This theory will be considered both from the geometric point of view (Thurston's theory and its ramifications) and from the analytic point of view (the Ahlfors-Bers theory and its ramifications). The relation with physics will also be emphasized.

Conference topics will include: Weil-Petersson geometry and other metric structures; mapping class groups and their representation theory; rigidity theory; infinite-dimensional Teichmüller spaces; relations with dynamical systems; relations with number theory and probability theory; invatiants of 3- and 4-manifolds; moduli spaces of flat connections; cluster algebras and quantization. In addition to specialized talks, there will be several survey talks given by leading experts in the field. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate, and graduate students in the field are also welcome.

A good number of grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and possibly part of the travel costs. Grant requests should be made by ticking appropriate field(s) in the paragraph "Grant application" of the application form.

Full conference programme and application form are accessible online from http://archives.esf.org/serving-science/conferences/details/2010/confdet...

Algebraic Dynamics Workshop
City University of New York Graduate Center
June 7 - 11, 2010

Thomas Scanlon will give a series of five introductory lectures on the use of model theory in algebraic dynamics.

Organizers: Thomas Tucker, Thomas Scanlon, Joseph Silverman, Lucien Szpiro

Workshop on Recent Advances in Topological and Measure-Theoretic Methods in Dynamical Systems
Nipissing University, North Bay, Ontario, Canada
May 17 - 21, 2010

Nipissing University will offer a Workshop on Recent Advances in Topological and Measure-Theoretic Methods in Dynamical Systems in order to bring researchers and students in these areas together for a five-day series of workshops. The workshops will be jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (funding recommended, but final approval pending) and the Fields Institute, and will be held at Nipissing~Rs pleasant campus in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, May 17-21, 2010.

Over the last 30 years, there have been many developments that have increased the interaction among topology, measure theory, and dynamical systems. Pending NSF support will be used for at least 10 US-based students and recent PhDs to attend the workshops. The workshops will provide the opportunity for recently trained professional mathematicians and students to prepare for research in areas in which current developments are moving rapidly at the intersection point of topology, measure theory, and dynamics. Major speakers with international reputations have been selected who are active in these research areas. Please see the website below:
