Dynamics, Geometry and Number Theory

This conference will cover recent progress of the theory of dynamical systems and its geometric and number-theoretic applications.  In recent years there have been spectacular advances in the area, highlighting various connnections between dynamics, rigidity, Diophantine approximation, combinatorics, and many other areas of mathematics.  Many recent developments have been made possible by the previous ground-breaking work of Gregory Margulis, whose 70th birthday will be honored by the conference.
