The backbone of the workshop is a mini course “Tableaux and their use in Holomorphic Dynamics” by Bodil Branner and "Symbolic Dynamics of Polynomials, with a View Towards Transcendental Functions" By Dierk Schleicher. Contributions by participants are encouraged. The final schedule of talks will be planned upon arrival.

 

The workshop is open to anyone with an interest in holomorphic dynamics. Especially Ph. D. students are encouraged to participate. The workshop is inspired by the socalled holomorphic days held in the eighties by Douady in Paris and is intended to be informal and guided by discussion.

 

The workshop also serves as a Ph. D. course under the research training program “Mathematical modelling and its Mathematical Foundations”, which is part of the Ph.D. school Mathematics and its Applications.

 

Ph.D. students can be awarded  2 ECTS for successful participation.

 

The participation fee is 800 dkr, it covers both lodging and meals starting with an evening meal Thursday September 28 and ending with lunch Sunday October 1.

Due to special limitations at Søminestationen the no. of participants is limited to Approx. 25.

 

To register send an email to lunde at ruc.dk with subject line “symbolic dynamics” and containing your name address email address and special meal requests. Deadline for registration is Wednesday September 19, 2007.

 

The scientific program opens on Friday October 5 at 9.00.

Søminestationen is open for arrival from Thursday evening October 4 at 18.00.

An evening meal will be served for those arriving Thursday evening.

 

The scientific program closes on Sunday October 7 at 12.00.

After the closing session a lunch will be served.

We shall have left the premises at Søminestationen at 14.00.
