Modern Dynamical Systems and Applications

Michael Brin

Boris Hasselblatt

Yakov Pesin

This volume presents a wide cross section of current research in the theory of dynamical systems and contains articles by leading researchers, including several Fields medalists, in a variety of specialties. These are surveys, usually with new results included, as well as research papers that are included because of their potentially high impact. Major areas covered include hyperbolic dynamics, elliptic dynamics, mechanics, geometry, ergodic theory, group actions, rigidity, applications. The target audience includes dynamicists, who will find new results in their own specialty as well as surveys in others, and mathematicians from other disciplines who look for a sample of current developments in ergodic theory and dynamical systems.
