Fifth edition of the Summer School on Geometry, Dynamics and Control
Tomorrow, Thursday, June 20, begins the XVI ICMAT International Summer School on Geometry, Dynamics and Field Theory, organized by the Geometry, Dynamics and Field Theory Network. This is the 16th edition of this international meeting aimed at researchers in the early stages of their careers and will be held at La Cristalera, in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid) until June 25. It includes three introductory courses on research topics of great activity in these areas, taught by experts.
The ICMAT International Summer School on Geometry, Dynamics and Field Theory celebrates its 16th edition this year, continuing with its aim of training new generations of researchers in these areas of mathematics that are closely related to physics and engineering. From this Thursday, June 20, until next Tuesday, June 25, a large group of young researchers interested in focusing their research in geometry, mathematical physics and numerical integrators – masters, doctoral and postdoctoral – will live together at La Cristalera, in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid), where the meeting is held.
“We are going to present an updated view of some fundamental topics in these areas and to draw the attention of the participants to some open problems, in particular problems related to applications,” explains David Martín de Diego, ICMAT researcher and co-organizer of the event. “Many of the results from these research areas are of particular importance in physics and engineering problems related to satellite control, robotic and biological systems, for example,” he says.
The program includes three courses: “Nijenhuis geometry and its applications” taught by Alexey Bolsinov (Loughborough University, UK), “Geometric numerical integration and inverse error analysis” taught by Christian Offen (University of Paderborn, Germany), and “The singular Weinstein conjecture and the singular Arnold conjecture” taught by Cédric Oms (Basque Center for Applied Mathematics). “In this school we intend to combine courses with a different perspective, ranging from theoretical topics in differential geometry to applied fields of mechanics and numerical simulation,” says Martín de Diego.
