Workshop on Ergodic Theory, Geometry and Arithmetic

Organizers	Anatole Katok (Penn State University), E-Mail: katok_a@math.psu.edu
	Gregory Margulis (Yale University), E-Mail: margulis@math.yale.edu

Time: February 2 - February 15, 1997

We expect about 50 participants and several types of talks including introductory/survey type mini-series, regular one-hour talks on recent developments and short communications. We hope not to overburden the program with formal activities in order to provide optimal conditions for informal interaction and creative work.

The topics of the workshop will include:

• Rigidity of Lie groups and lattices,
• Rigidity for group actions on compact manifolds,
• Subgroup actions on homogenous spaces and applications to number theory,
• Structures at infinity for riemannian manifolds of negative and non-positive curvature,
• Invariant geometric structures for dynamical systems.
