Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

In recent years it has become possible to import some ideas and methods from homogeneous dynamics to the general smooth dynamics setting. I will discuss some results and open problems in this area.  

The generalized Markoff equation gives rise to a dynamical system via the Markoff group acting on the solution set. This talk considers the resulting dynamics over finite fields, which has strong connections with combinatorial group theory and...
