WORKSHOP CONCLUDES

In partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute, the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study held a workshop on Localization and Lyapunov Exponents during April 3 - 7, 2000.

The primary focus of this workshop was the study of Schrodinger operators with quasi-periodic or random potentials. In addition, we included the analysis of Lyapunov Exponents for dynamic systems such as the standard map.
