CONFERENCE
Frontiers of Operator Dynamics
September 28 – October 2, 2015
Dynamics of linear operators, often seen as dynamics of the corresponding discrete or continuous operator semigroup, is a mature but at the same time steadily evolving field serving as a common denominator for many other areas of mathematics, such as for instance ergodic theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis and the theory of partial differential equations. It consists in the study of the long-time behaviour of orbits of certains classes of operators or semigroups acting on Banach or Fréchet spaces, both from the topological and from the ergodic point of view.

The aim of the meeting « Frontiers of Operator Dynamics » is to bring together researchers whose main interests interact with issues pertaining to the study of qualitative and quantitative properties of operator orbits (or operator semigroups) as well as experts in ergodic theory, and to initiate a fruitful interchange of ideas from complementary areas of expertise. In particular, it will be one of the main goals of the workshop to underline the interactions between:

– classical ergodic theory with emphasis on operator aspects, such as the study of convergence of averages, of recurrence, of joining of dynamical systems, and of rigidity phenomena;

– dynamics of operator semigroups, with the study of conditions implying convergence of orbits, as well as of the rates of convergence, and the investigation of their « good » asymptotic properties such as stability or hyperbolicity, as well as their « bad » asymptotic properties such as cyclicity and mixing;

– dynamics of linear operators, i.e. the study of dynamical systems given by the action of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space, and the investigation of topological properties (such as hypercyclicity) as well as of ergodic phenomena in this context.
