Topological Invariants in Fixed Point Theory and Dynamical Systems

Conference and Workshop

Gdańsk University of Technology, January 29–31, 2024

https://www.pawelpilarczyk.com/topinv2024/

Aims and Scope
The conference on Topological Invariants in Fixed Point Theory and Dynamical Systems aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring and discussing recent advances, challenges and applications of topological invariants in the realms of fixed point theory and dynamical systems. The conference provides a platform for the exchange of ideas, collaboration, and dissemination of cutting-edge research in these interconnected fields.

The key topics of the conference include:

  • Topological invariants in fixed and periodic point theory: Nielsen number, Lefschetz number, Fixed point index, Conley index,
  • Analysis of topological structures underlying dynamical systems,
  • Examination of invariant sets, attractors, and chaotic behavior from a topological perspective,
  • Computational techniques for extracting and analyzing topological invariants in fixed point theory and dynamical systems,
  • Connections between topological invariants, fixed point theory, dynamical systems and other branches of mathematics,
  • Applications in real-world problems, emerging trends and open problems in the field.
