Perspectives on Ergodic Theory and its Interactions — a conference celebrating Vitaly Bergelson’s work and impact

Link to full poster

The conference will focus on the interfaces between ergodic theory, additive combinatorics, and number theory, which are still evolving. Bergelson’s works and ideas have had a tremendous influence and profound impact on these fields. Over the past 20 years, there have been significant advancements in ergodic theory, analytic number theory, and additive combinatorics, leading to the resolution of long-standing conjectures.
