Illustrating Dynamics and Probability

ICERM (The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics)

November 11-15

Brown University

Providence, Rhode Island

This workshop will focus on the theoretical insights developed via illustration, visualization, and computational experimentation in dynamical systems and probability theory. 

Topics from complex dynamics: 

• Dynamical moduli spaces and their dynamically-defined subvarieties
• Degenerations of dynamical systems as one moves toward the boundary of moduli space
• The structure of algebraic data coming from a family of dynamical systems

Topics from classical dynamical systems: 

• Flows on hyperbolic spaces and Lorentz attractors
• Simple physical systems like billiards in two and three-dimensional domains
• Flows on moduli spaces

In probability theory, the workshop features random walks and continuous-time random processes like Brownian motion, SLE, and scaling limits of discrete systems.
