Title: Asymmetry in dynamics
Abstract: We shall initially discuss what symmetries mean in the context of dynamical systems of different flavors: complex analytic, Hamiltonian, or smooth. We shall then discuss progress towards a resolution of a conjecture of Smale: a generic smooth dynamical system has only trivial symmetries.
