Ergodic theory has its origins in the the work of  L. Boltzmann on the kinetic theory of gases. The closely related field of dynamical systems has a much older origin, going back at least to Newtonian mechanics. Both subjects have since flourished into extremely active subjects with connections to many parts of mathematics and the physical sciences. Progress has been especially rapid in the last few years in differentiable dynamics and homogeneous dynamics. Differentiable dynamics studies flows on smooth manifolds and has links with geometry while homogeneous dynamics is the study of subgroup actions on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups and has connections to number theory. It is the aim of this two week workshop to gather top experts in these two subjects to deliver expositions on the state of the art in these subjects. The first week will be devoted to differentiable dynamics and the second week to homogeneous dynamics.During the program, the Infosys-ICTS Ramanujan lectures will be de...

Scientific committee:Jacques Tilouine (University of Paris, France)Eknath Ghate (TIFR, India)Marie France Vigneras (Institute de Mathématiques de Jussieu, France)Sujatha Ramdorai (University of British Columbia, Canada)Adrian Iovita (Concordia University,  Canada)Workshop on "Perfectoid spaces" will be from 09 - 13th September, 2019 and the discussion meeting on "p-adic automorphic forms and perfectoid spaces" will be from 16-20th September, 2019.In this school, we intend to understand connections between the arithmetic theory of modular forms and new developments in p-adic Hodge theory that grew from the breakthrough work of Peter Scholze on perfectoid spaces (see P. Scholze "Perfectoid spaces" Publ. Math. de l’IHES 116 (2012)). p-adic methods play a key role in the study of arithmetic properties of modular forms. This theme takes its origins in Ramanujan congruences between the Fourier coeffcients of the unique eigenform of weight 12 and the Eisenstein series of the same weight modul...
