Dynamics, Additive number theory and Algebraic geometry

Project description

Advancing dynamical systems and creating novel insights

The field of dynamical systems (founded by Poincaré during his study of the N-body problem) has seen remarkable progress and breakthroughs in recent years. These advances benefit the field itself, in addition to areas as diverse as theoretical computer science, combinatorics, and number theory. In fact, new findings in dynamical systems continue to provide critical insights across the sciences. With this in mind, the ERC-funded DyAddAlg project will explore several central open problems in the field, with a particular focus on multidimensional averages in ergodic theory, additive combinatorics, and other key areas.

Objective

The last two decade have witnessed a new spring for dynamical systems. The field - initiated by Poincare in the study of the N-body problem - has become essential in the understanding of seemingly far off fields such as combinatorics, number theory, and theoretical computer science. In particular, ideas from ergodic theory played an important role in the resolution of long standing open problems in combinatorics and number theory. A striking example is the role of dynamics on nilmanifolds in the proof of Hardy-Littlewood estimates for the number of solutions to systems of linear equations of finite complexity in the prime numbers. The interplay between ergodic theory, number theory and additive combinatorics and very recently also algebraic geometry has proved very fruitful; it is a fast growing area in mathematics attracting many young researchers. I propose to tackle a wide range of central open problems in the area, focusing on multidimensional averages in ergodic theory and additive combinatorics, the stability phenomena for polynomial rings in many variables, and randomness properties of arithmetic functions.
