Clay Mathematics Institute Symposium and EuroWorkshop on Hamiltonian Systems

Monday 21 May to Friday 1 June 2001, Edinburgh

Workshop Programme

The format of the meeting will be scheduled lectures in the morning with afternoons free for discussion, collaboration, and working sessions organized by the participants at the workshop.
Among the topics of emphasis will be:
  1. KAM theory and its extension to partial differential equations,
  2. Hamiltonian PDE and perturbation theory in resonance with continuous spectrum,
  3. turbulence in Hamiltonian PDE,
  4. upper and lower bounds on the drift of trajectories in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems, and
  5. invariant measures and random perturbations of Hamiltonian systems.
We plan to emphasize finite dimensional Hamiltonian sytems during the first week of the workshop and infinite dimensional systems during the second.

PROVISIONAL SCHEDULED TALKS

Afternoons are largely free for participants to arrange their own working sessions. There will be a tea/coffee break at 4pm in the room adjacent to the seminar room. Scroll down to see the time table or use these links to find specific days.
