INTRODUCTION TO THE MODERN THEORY OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Anatole Katok
katok_a@math.psu.edu


The book is written by A.Katok and B.Hasselblatt and is published by Cambridge University Press. It is currently available in the paperback edition. The following parts constitute an essential background: Chapter 1.

  • Sections 2.1-2.6
  • Sections 3.1-3.2
  • Sections 5.2-5.5
  • Section 6.1, 6.2 (omit details of proofs), 6.4 Section 15.1
  • Sections 17.4.17.5

At the very least the participants should be familiar with definitions and statements of results from these parts and understand the principal examples.

I am planning to use some other parts of the book as a text.

I am also planning to prepare extra hanouts from articles and preprints.
