Graphs, Groups and Dynamics

From September 18, 2017 to February 28, 2018

Lyon

The thematic semester Graphs, Groups and Dynamics aims to understand simple systems of an algebraic, combinatorial and dynamic nature in mathematics, physics and computer science, through techniques that exploit the interactions between spectral analysis, ergodic theory and combinatorics. The objective is to facilitate collaboration between researchers in these fields and to provide a meeting place for exchanging ideas and techniques.

  2. Ultrafilters, Ramsey Theory and Dynamics
  3. Entropies and soficity
  4. Graph Limits
  5. Words and Complexity
