Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory (PhD 2025)

Course Syllabus

  • Strong dependence on initial conditions and hyperbolicity (why divination is hard).
  • Lyapunov exponents and entropy (the basics).
  • Probability and dynamical systems (measurable dynamical systems)
  • Qualitative statistical properties of dynamical systems (Ergodic Theory).
  • Quantitative statistical properties of dynamical systems (CLT and other Limit theorems)
  • Hyperbolic billiards (an interesting class of examples)
  • N hard spheres in a box (an open problem).
