Special Topic School: "Recent developments around joint equidistribution in number theory and dynamics "

March 10 - 14, 2025

Venue: Lipschitz-Saal (Endenicher Allee 60, Bonn)

Organizers: Edgar Assing (University of Bonn), Philippe Michel (EPFL), Asbjørn Nordentoft (Université Paris-Saclay)

Description: Joint equidistribution problems naturally arise in number theory, for example when studying properties of arithmetic objects beyond uniform distribution. One prominent example is the mixing conjecture formulated by Michel and Venkatesh in their 2006 ICM address on sparse equidistribution problems. This conjecture has seen much progress recently and there are two (different) conditional proofs available now.
In this Hausdorff School we will explore the interplay between tools from number theory and dynamical systems in the context of the mixing conjecture and beyond. The topics of the mini courses will cover both approaches and are tailored to give the participants a high level introduction to contemporary methods that are involved in the study of joint equidistribution problems.

The University of Bonn and HSM are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We aim to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented and to facilitate their careers. We therefore strongly encourage women with relevant qualifications to apply.

To encourage the participation of young researchers facing increased financial burden, such as researchers from developing countries, a small number of funded places are available. Please indicate in your application (under "Comments") for which type of financial support you would like to be considered.

The deadline for the application is October 28, 2024.
