Abstract
The course “Ergodic Theory” is aimed for introducing the students to the modern state and problems of dynamical systems having complicated (chaotic) behavior. Such systems usually can be described and studied with the help of Ergodic Theory.
Learning Objectives
- To show the actual state of studying complicated dynamical systems using invariant measures and dynamical invariants which are responsible for complexity of the system. To explain the phenomena of limit behavior of chaotic systems and its relation to the evolution limits of probability distributions in ergodic theorems ( the results going back to the results of Poincare, Birkhoff, , Khinchin, Krylov, Bogolyubov, Kolmogorov, Sinai). To provide constructions and methods for modeling invariant measures and computing the invariants for concrete dynamical systems..
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Knowledge of classical Ergodic theorems
- Understanding the constructions of invariant measures
- Understanding the constructions of Symbolic Dynamics.
- Understanding the relationship between topological dynamics and Ergodic Theory.
- Understanding the relationship between topological dynamics and Ergodic Theory.
