Course/Module description:
The course will cover selected topics from the theory of homogenous dynamics. Homogenous dynamics is at the meeting ground for several mathematical disciplines including Ergodic Theory, Arithmetic, Diophantine Inequalities, Lee Groups, Algebraic Groups…
Topics to be covered include Siegel domains, Mahler's compactness criteria, non-divergence of unipotent flows, Ratner's measure classification theorem, Linearization, and applications to counting and equidistribution in arithmetic.
Course/Module aims:
Introduction to homogeneous dynamics.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Introduction to topics in the theory of homogeneous flow as well as with research articles in that subject.
Ability to prove and apply the theorems presented in the course.
Ability to apply correctly the mathematical methodology in the context of the course.
Acquiring the fundamentals as well as basic familiarity with the field which will assist in the understanding of advanced subjects.
Ability to understanding and explain the subjects taught in the course.
