In the past ten years, there has been a flourishing of new techniques and methods in between foliation theory, birational geometry and local dynamics. This includes the theory of MMP for foliations, which provides a new way to study local and global classical problems in foliation theory. Moreover, the development of methods of resolution of singularities of varieties via weighted blowings-up, some of which inspired by resolution of singularities of vector-fields, are important new tools in birational geometry. It is natural to explore how these methods would impact the study of resolution of singularities of foliations, a problem which is widely open in dimensions higher than 3. Finally, the duality between (formal) vector-fields and local dynamics provides a natural framework to explore complex dynamical systems. The Conference will explore these three inter-connected topics. We will bring together specialists of these three areas of expertise, in order to foster new collaborations and exchanges.
