Description

The workshop aims to explore various connections between birational geometry and complex dynamics, focusing on recent achievements in the field. We will gather world-leading experts in the area to further explore these new techniques and to foster new ideas in this flourishing field. A lecture series by Charles Favre on dynamical degrees will give a survey of the recent advances in the study of the Cremona group via dynamical considerations aimed at non-experts. Furthermore, we organise a series of research talks while still allowing sufficient free time to address research problems in small groups and problem sessions for the junior participants.
