The Big C Seminar: A crash course in ergodic theory and hyperbolic dynamics
As a part of The Big C Seminar, this two part talk will serve as an introduction to the 2025 Victor Shapiro Distinguished Lecture, delivered by Professor Amie Wilkinson. With a gentle introduction to ergodic theory and (partially) hyperbolic dynamics, the talk will provide relevant definitions, examples, and theorems so we can better engage with the Shapiro Lecture.
