Dynamical symmetry
The centralizer Z(f) of a diffeomorphism f: M--> M of a closed manifold M is the group of all diffeomorphisms commuting with f; it is the collection of dynamical symmetries of f. The centralizer of f always contains the group <f>…

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)…
