Scientific Calendar Event



Description
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is orgamzing a "Fifth International Conference and School Geometry, Dynamics, Integrable Systems - GDIS 2014: Bicentennial of The Great Poncelet Theorem and Billiard Dynamics", to be held at ICTP, Trieste, Italy, from 16 June to 27 June 2014. 

The main aim of the school is to introduce young participants into these exciting topics and prepare 
them for the week long conference to follow the school. The first week on the activity is devoted to a school that will give an overview of recent developments and interrelations between geometry and dynamical systems, with a special focus on mathematical billiards and integrable systems. The school will provide a background in algebraic geometry, theory of measured foliations and flat surfaces, the discrete integrable systems, 2-2 correspondences, the QR T maps, and the mechanical background of the billiard systems. The second week will be an international conference, where leading experts will report on the newest developments in the field of integrable dynamical systems and their geometry. The event will mark the bicentennial of the great Poncelet theorem.

      Abstract The notion of Poincaré rotation number for homeomorphisms of the unit circle is generalized to the case of homeomorphisms of a general compact abelian one–dimensional solenoidal group, which is also a one–dimensional foliated space; specifically, the theory is developed for the algebraic universal covering space of the circle (the adèle class group of the rationals).  Poincaré's dynamical classification theorem is also generalized to homeomorphisms of solenoids whose rotation element is an irrational element (i.e., monothetic generator) of the given group.

    • 18:00 - 19:00 SPECIAL PUBLIC LECTURE "On explicitly solvable ODE's" 1h0' ( Leonardo da Vinci Building Main Lecture Hall )
      Abstract: We discuss the problem of integration of ODE systems by quadratures. The main classical results on exact integration of general nonlinear systems are the Euler-Jacobi theorem on the integrating factor and the Lie theorem on the solvable algebra of symmetries. We present a general theory uniting these two approaches. We generalize Darboux's classical results on the integrability of linear non-autonomous systems with an incomplete set of particular solutions. Special attention is paid to linear Hamiltonian systems. We also discuss the general problem of integrability of autonomous ODE systems in an n-dimensional space which admit an algebra of symmetry fields of dimension greater than or equal to n.
