Dynamics Seminar-Gibbs measures (I)

The form meeting of the Fall dynamics seminar will take place (next) Friday, September 18, 2 to 3 pm on Zoom.

Speaker: Prof. Nyima Kao, GWU
Title: Gibbs measures (I)

Abstract:
Gibbs measures, in mathematics, are important invariant measures which carry many physical and statistical properties. In this hour, we will discuss preliminaries and physics motivation about Gibbs measures. If time permits, we will discuss the mathematical construction of Gibbs measures (for symbolic dynamical systems). In the following weeks, we will discus more properties of Gibbs measures and their applications. The discuss will be mostly based on Rufus Bowen’s book “Equilibrium States and the Ergodic Theory of Anosov Diffeomorphism”.
