Dynamical systems and Diophantine geometry
Supervisor: Alexander Gorodnik
Theme: Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems
This project lies on the crossroads between dynamical systems and number theory. We will be interested in the structure of the set of integral/rational solutions of a systems of polynomial equations. In many interesting cases the set of solutions is equipped with a group action and one can use techniques from the theory of dynamical systems to analyse this problem.
