Description
Complex dynamics, in the sense of iteration theory of holomorphic mappings, is a very active and deep field with many connections all across mathematics, with profound recent developments and important goals. Its connections to other branches of mathematics include geometry of 3-manifolds (through Sullivan’s celebrated “dictionary” between holomorphic dynamics and Kleinian groups, as well as Thurston’s geometrization theory), algebra (in particular group theory, through Nekrashevych’ theory of Iterated Monodromy Groups), renormalization (that plays an important role in the study of holomorphic dynamics as well as in physics), all the way to numerical analysis (many equation solvers and root finders are iterated holomorphic maps).
Our focus will be on selected topics of holomorphic dynamics that have seen substantial developments in the past years that open up new perspectives and vistas. We will put particular emphasis on their interconnections, helping an actively developing field to maintain coherence and a view towards “the whole picture”. One substantial ingredient of the conference is the Advanced Grant of the European Research Council “Hologram” by one of the organizers; the intended time period for the conference (September 2021) marks the conclusion of this grant, so it is a good opportunity to “pass on the torch” to the community-at-large in terms of accomplishments and questions achieved. We hope that the results of this grant will inspire our colleagues to apply for other major grants, ERC and other wise.
La dynamique complexe, au sens de la théorie itérative des applications holomorphes, est un domaine très actif et profond qui entretient de nombreuses connexions, essentiellement mathématiques, et qui compte de récents développements spectaculaires et des objectifs fondamentaux. Ses liens avec d’autres branches des mathématiques comprennent la géométrie des variétés de dimension trois (via le cébre “dictionnaire” de Sullivan entre la dynamique holomorphe et les groupes kleinéens et via la géométrisation de Thurston), l’algèbre (en particulier la théorie géométrique des groupes, et plus particulièrement la théorie de Nekrashevych sur les groupes de monodromie itérée), la renormalisation (qui joue un le important dans l’ étude de la dynamique holomorphe ainsi qu’en physique), allant jusqu’à l’analyse numérique (de nombreux solveurs d’équations et recherches de racines utilisent des applications holomorphes itérées).
Nous nous concentrerons sur des sujets soigneusement choisis de la dynamique holomorphe qui ont connu des développements substantiels au cours de ces dernières années et qui ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives ainsi que des points de vue originaux. Nous mettrons particulèrement l’accent sur leurs interactions, afin de s’assurer que ces domaines en plein essor maintiennent la cohérence nécessaire à une vision globale du sujet. Un ingrédient important de la conférence est la bourse “European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant” Hologram détenue par l’un des organisateurs car la période prévue pour la conférence —septembre2021— marque la fin de cette subvention : c’est donc une bonne occasion de “passer le flambeau” à la communauté en dressant le bilan des accomplissements réalisés et en posant les questions qui en sont issues. Nous espérons que les résultats obtenus grâce à cette bourse inspireront nos collègue à candidater sur d’autres bourses de cette ampleur, ERC et/ou autres.
