6th Pingree Park Dynamics Workshop
Foundations and Frontiers in Symbolic Dynamics
Pingree Park, Colorado, USA, July 17-20, 2017


Information
The 2017 Pingree Park Dynamical Systems Workshop will be held at the Pingree Park Campus of Colorado State University on the dates July 17-20, 2017. (Pingree Park Campus Info)
The workshop will be on topological dynamics and ergodic theory in general, but with an emphasis on symbolic dynamical systems. There will be three mini-courses given by:
  1. Emmanuel Jeandel, Université de Lorraine: "Reducibility Relations with applications in multidimensional symbolic dynamics" (Course outline and slides: 1, 2, 3)
  2. Anthony Quas, University of Victoria: "Coupling and Splicing" (Course notes)
  3. Ayse Sahin, Wright State University: "Extending basic objects beyond Zd: towers, odometer actions, and SFTs"

Funding and Costs
Funding has been made available for the meeting by NSF grant DMS-1700430 and by the University of Denver. Local costs for participants will be covered - transportation from the University of Denver to Pingree Park as well as room and board at Pingree Park. Some limited amount of funding is available to support travel; junior researchers will receive top priority for funding.

Timing
We will organize transportation from Denver to the facility in the early afternoon on Sunday, July 16, including picking up any participants who stayed overnight on July 15 (more details to follow). Talks will formally begin on Monday, July 17 and run through Thursday, July 20. On the morning of Friday, July 21, we will depart the facility. Departure times will depend on outgoing flight times for participants.
