Emerging applications of measure rigidity

June 13 to June 18, 2004

at the

American Institute of Mathematics, San Jose, California

organized by

Anatole Katok, Elon Lindenstrauss, and Ralf Spatzier

Original Announcement

This workshop will be devoted to exploring the interplay between flows on locally homogeneous spaces and a wide range of problems in number theory, theoretical physics, and representation theory. Specific topics include: classification of measures invariant under natural flows on locally homogeneous spaces, particularly Cartan-type actions, unipotent flows and their applications to Diophantine approximations, L-functions, Heegner points, Quantum Chaos, and many other major areas of vigorous mathematical research.
