 1/">Random walks\, spectral gaps\, and Khinchine's theorem on fractals</a>
 \nby Osama Khalil (Utah) as part of Virtual lecture series in dynamics\n\n
 \nAbstract\nIn 1984\, Mahler asked how well typical points on Cantor’s s
 et can be approximated by\nrational numbers. His question fits within a pr
 ogram\, set out by himself in the 1930s\, attempting to\ndetermine conditi
 ons under which subsets of $\\mathbb R^d$\ninherit the Diophantine propert
 ies of the ambient\nspace. Since the approximability of typical points in 
 Euclidean space by rational points is governed\nby Khinchine’s classical
  theorem\, the ultimate form of Mahler’s question asks whether an analog
 ous\nzero-one law holds for fractal measures. Significant progress has bee
 n achieved in recent years\,\nalbeit\, almost all known results have been 
 of “convergence type”.\nIn this talk\, we will discuss the first insta
 nces where a complete analogue of Khinchine’s theorem\nfor fractal measu
 res is obtained. Our results hold for fractals generated by rational simil
 arities of $\\mathbb R^d$\n\nand having sufficiently small Hausdorff co-di
 mension. The main new ingredient is an effective\nequidistribution theorem
  for certain fractal measures on the space of unimodular lattices. The lat
 ter\nis established via a new technique involving the construction of $S$-
 arithmetic Markov operators\npossessing a spectral gap and encoding the ar
 ithmetic structure of the maps generating the fractal.\nThis is joint work
  in progress with Manuel Luethi.\n

 2/">Stability and collapse of Oseledets spectrum for Perron-Frobenius cocy
 cles</a>\nby Anthony Quas (Victoria) as part of Virtual lecture series in 
 dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nIt is known\, by work of Bochi\, Mañé\, Viana an
 d others\nthat Lyapunov exponents are highly sensitive to perturbations of
  a\ndynamical system. On the other hand\, work of Ledrappier\, Young\nand 
 my work with Froyland and Gonz´alez-Tokman has shown that\nin some situat
 ions\, under “noise-like” perturbations\, Lyapunov exponents vary cont
 inuously.\nWe are particularly interested in cocycles of Perron-Frobenius\
 noperators\, as the Lyapunov exponents (and the corresponding Oseledets sp
 aces) are related to rates of mixing (and the spaces can\nidentify obstruc
 tions to mixing). We discuss a test case of a random composition of Blasch
 ke products\, and their Perron-Frobenius\noperators acting on a Hardy spac
 e of analytic functions. These operators are known to be compact. We ident
 ify the full Lyapunov\nspectrum of these systems\, and give necessary and 
 sufficient conditions for the stability of the spectrum. [Joint work with 
 Cecilia\nGonz´alez-Tokman.]\n

 3/">Quantitative equidistribution of horocycle push-forwards of transverse
  arcs</a>\nby Davide Ravotti (Monash) as part of Virtual lecture series in
  dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nFor several parabolic systems\, a technique often
  used to prove mixing and\nother strong chaotic properties consists of a g
 eometric shearing argument. In the case\nof the horocycle flow (both in co
 nstant and in variable negative curvature\, as well as for\nits smooth tim
 e-changes)\, this has been done successfully by analysing the action of th
 e\nhorocycle flow on geodesic arcs. The quantitative estimates one can obt
 ain following this\napproach\, however\, are not optimal\, since\, in the 
 constant curvature case\, do not match the\nones obtained by Ratner.\nIn t
 his talk\, we will discuss an effective equidistribution result for the ho
 rocycle pushforwards of homogeneous arcs which are transverse to the weak-
 stable leaves of the\ngeodesic flow. As a corollary\, we derive a geometri
 c proof of Ratner’s quantitative mixing\nresult for the horocycle flow\n

  of additive and multiplicative actions</a>\nby Florian Richter (Northwest
 ern) as part of Virtual lecture series in dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nOne of t
 he fundamental challenges in number theory is to understand the intricate\
 nway in which the additive and multiplicative structures in the integers i
 ntertwine. We will\nexplore a dynamical approach to this topic. After intr
 oducing a new dynamical framework for\ntreating questions in multiplicativ
 e number theory\, we will present an ergodic theorem which\ncontains vario
 us classical number-theoretic results\, such as the Prime Number Theorem\,
  as\nspecial cases. This naturally leads to a formulation of an extended f
 orm of Sarnak's conjecture\,\nwhich deals with the disjointness of actions
  of (N\, +) and (N\, ·). This talk is based on joint\nwork with Vitaly Be
 rgelson.\n

 res</a>\nby Alena Erchenko (Stonybrook) as part of Virtual lecture series 
 in dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nWe give an overview of the flexibility philosop
 hy proposed by Anatole Katok and concentrate\non questions (answered and o
 pened) connected to Lyapunov exponents with respect to various\nmeasures. 
 There are several interesting classes of measures. We will look at the inv
 ariant\nmeasure that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue
  measure and the measure\nof maximal entropy. We show that positive Lyapun
 ov exponents with respect to these two\nprobability measures for Anosov ar
 ea-preserving diffeomorphisms on a two-torus that are homotopic to a fixed
  area-preserving Anosov automorphism take on all values that satisfy some 
 well-known inequalities.\n

  with cusps</a>\nby Wenyu Pan (Chicago) as part of Virtual lecture series 
 in dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $\\mathbb H^n$ be the hyperbolic $n$-space 
 and Γ be a geometrically finite discrete subgroup in $\\mathrm{Isom}_+(\\
 mathbb H^n)$ with cusps.\nIn the forthcoming joint work with Jialun Li\, w
 e establish exponential mixing of the geodesic flow over the unit tangent 
 bundle $T^1(\\Gamma\\backslash \\mathbb H^n)$. Previously\, such results w
 ere proved by Stoyanov for convex cocompact discrete subgroups and Mohamma
 di-Oh and Edwards-Oh for $\\Gamma$ with large critical exponent. We obtain
  our\nresult by constructing a nice coding for the geodesic flow\, which i
 n particular satisfies the exponential tail condition.\nIn the first part 
 of the talk\, I am going to explain the construction of the coding\, which
  is partly inspired by the works of Lai-Sang Young and Burns-Masur-Matheus
 -Wilkinson. In the second part of the talk\, Jialun\nLi is going to discus
 s part of the process on how to prove a spectral bound for the transfer op
 erator building\non Dolgopyat’s framework.\n

 nvariant sets</a>\nby Amir Algom (Penn State) as part of Virtual lecture s
 eries in dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 1970 Furstenberg proposed the followin
 g $\\times 2\, \\times 3$ type conjecture: Let $m\, n \\gt 1$ be independe
 nt integers\, and let $X\, Y \\subseteq [0\, 1]$ be two closed sets that a
 re ×m and ×n invariant\, respectively.\nThen for every invertible affine
  map $g$\, the Hausdorff dimension of $g(X)\\cap Y$ is at most the maximum
 \nof $\\dim_H X + \\dim_H Y − 1$ and $0$. Writing $Z = X \\times Y$\, th
 is is equivalent to\n$$\n\\dim_H Z \\cap \\ell \\le \\max {\\dim_H Z − 1
 \, 0}\, \\qquad\\text{for any line $\\ell$ not parallel to the major axes.
 }\\qquad\\qquad(1)\n$$\nIn 2016\, Pablo Shmerkin and Meng Wu (independentl
 y) proved the conjecture to be correct.\nWe shall present a generalization
  of this result: The slicing bound (1) holds whenever $Z \\subseteq [0\, 1
 ]^2$ is a closed $(\\times m\, \\times n)$ invariant set (i.e. not only fo
 r product sets). This talk is based on joint work with Meng Wu.\n

 t\nFor a homeomorphism of a compact metric space T : X → X\, the\nstabil
 ized automorphism group Aut(∞)\n(T) consists of all self-homeomorphisms 
 of\nX which commute with some power of T. Motivated by studying Aut(∞)\n
 (T) in\nthe setting of symbolic systems\, we will introduce and discuss a 
 certain entropy for\ngroups called P local entropy. We will show how P loc
 al entropy can be used to\ngive a complete classification of the stabilize
 d automorphisms groups of full shifts\;\nin particular\, we show the stabi
 lized groups for the 2-shift and the 3-shift are not\nisomorphic.\n
