Teaching
(red panda)
Winter semester 2024/2025 I will teach a grad course "Ergodic theory of semi-simple Lie groups" . Time Thu 8:30-9:30 in the room 1009
I'll also "teach" the course "Advanced Scientific Skills", Wed 14:00-15:00 in 1009. It provides a way to get 3 ECTS pts for attending our research seminar.
If you are interested doing a PhD or Masters under my supervision, send me an email.
Advanced Scientific Skills
A list of topics for the seminar. I plan to have the student talks on Feb 5th 14:00-16:00. Detailed instructions in the file
Ergodic theory of semi-simple Lie groups
Vote on doodle has concluded (with only one time working for everyone who voted) . Winning slot was Thursday 8:00-10:00. The actual class will be 1 hour, 8:30-9:30.
Classroom 1009.

Problem list (added correction to Q8)
To pass the course it will be enough to submit a solution to 1 problem per each of five parts of the course (very easy!). For a grade there will be an exam at the end of the course.
