Chaotic Structures at Fields: In Honour of Yakov Sinai on his 75th Birthday
Description
Chaotic structures have become a hot topic in a wide spectrum of mathematics and physics ranging form number theory to fluid dynamics and statistical mechanics. The Symposium will focus on recent advances, many of which have roots in ideas developed by Yakov Sinai.
