Exclusive Interview with Mariusz Lemanczyk at CIRM: Insights into Ergodic Theory & Dynamical Systems 🌟

Chaire Jean-Morlet
Cirm-Luminy

1 August 2016 - 30 January 2017

Semester on 'Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems
in their Interactions with Arithmetic and Combinatorics'

General themes
During the last decades, ergodic theory, in spite of its rather physical origins, has found deep connections with number theory and combinatorics.
These are well established through fundamental works carried out by Margulis and others via a development of the theory of dynamical systems on homogenous spaces of Lie groups, and the work of Furstenberg and others, deeply relating ergodic theory and so-called combinatorial number theory.

The programme intends to focus on a new approach to these interactions, recently proposed by Peter Sarnark, which, using the ergodic theory approach, may lead to a better understanding of some basic arithmetic functions.
