Ergodic Theory of Hyperbolic Dynamical Systems

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Golden Cliff

The ergodic theory of hyperbolic dynamical systems has been fundamental to the understanding of "chaotic" systems and to the development of a rigorous foundation for statistical mechanics. This minisymposium will address recent results for systems that are not uniformly hyperbolic and in particular results on stable ergodicity which have led to the provision of a large class of models that retain strong mixing properties under deterministic perturbation. These models arise naturally in applications with Lie group symmetry.
