Topological dynamics with applications to number theory
Topological dynamics is the study of qualitative and asymptotic properties of dynamical systems. It is one of the three main modern formulations of abstract dynamical systems, the others being ergodic theory and smooth dynamics. In particular, topological dynamics only requires basic topology and is thus a nice point of entry into the world of dynamical systems. In this course, we will explore topological dynamics and see some connections to number theory. No prior experience with topological dynamics, ergodic theory, or smooth dynamics is assumed.

讲师介绍
Andrew Best attained his PhD in 2021 from the Ohio State University under the supervision of Vitaly Bergelson, was a postdoc at BIMSA starting from 2021, and became an assistant professor at BIMSA in 2024. He works on ergodic theory and its interactions with number theory and additive combinatorics.
