NUET 2024

Hosted by Northwestern University’s Evanston campus and in cooperation with the AWM, NUET 2024's Summer School was held July 29-August 2, 2024 and the conference was August 5-9, 2024.  The summer school introduced early graduate students to modern ergodic theory, to prepare them for the conference NU Trends in Ergodic Theory. It covered several aspects of modern ergodic theory at a level suitable for those with a background in analysis. Each of the lecturers gave four lectures. Accompanying problem sessions gave participants the opportunity to practice working with the tools of ergodic theory.  The Summer School Speakers and Mini-Courses were as follows:
  • Vitaly Bergelson (The Ohio State University): The dynamical underpinnings of some old and new results in combinatorics and number theory
  • Sebastian Donoso (University of Chile) and Anh Le (University of Denver): Introduction to Multiple Ergodic Averages: Nilpotent Structures, Recurrence, and New Challenges
  • Rachel Greenfeld (Northwestern University): Two Approaches to Translational Tilings: Combinatorial and Ergodic Theoretic
  • Wenbo Sun (Virginia Tech): Spherical higher order Fourier analysis

The NU Trends in Ergodic theory conference brought together researchers working on many aspects of ergodic theory and its applications to share recent developments. Preceded by a summer school for graduate students, the conference encouraged interactions between young researchers and research leaders, to communicate new techniques to the community.  The conference speakers were as follows:

  • Ethan Ackelsberg (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne)
  • Tim Austin (University of Warwick)
  • Vitaly Bergelson (The Ohio State University)
  • Pablo Candela (Autonomous University of Madrid)
  • Sebastian Donoso (University of Chile)

  • Borys Kuca (Jagiellonian University)
  • Anh Le (University of Denver)
  • Alejandro Maass (University of Chile)
  • Mariusz Mirek (Rutgers University)
  • Sarah Peluse (University of Michigan)
