401-3375-67LHomogeneous Dynamics and Applications8 credits4GM. Einsiedler, M. Akka Ginosar, Ç. Sert
AbstractThe aim is to reach a few of the applications of homogeneous dynamics to number theory, e.g. counting results concerning quadratic forms, but also develop the theory from scratch. The first part of the course will be based on the book "Ergodic Theory with a view towards number theory" by Einsiedler and Ward, but several topics go beyond this volume.

ContentThe first part of the course will be based on the book "Ergodic Theory with a view towards number theory" by Einsiedler and Ward, but several topics go beyond this volume. Some of the aims of the course are:
-) Pointwise ergodic theorem for a certain class of amenable groups
-) Dynamics on hyperbolic surfaces, equidistribution of periodic horocycle orbits
-) Applications to counting
-) Some cases of Ratner theorems in Unipotent dynamics

Prerequisites / NoticeThe course will use functional analysis quite heavily.
