This event, consisting of an international conference on Dynamical Systems and a special edition of the EDAÍ seminar, celebrates Pedro Duarte's 60th birthday by focusing on his research interests.

The main topics covered in this meeting are: the standard map with its challenges, including the existence of elliptic islands; isospectral reduction theory and stationary measures on infinite graphs; hyperbolic billiards; statistical properties of linear cocycles presenting hyperbolic waves, as well as positivity and continuity of their Lyapunov exponents; the study of ergodic Schrödinger operators in mathematical physics.

The (spectral) gap between the two-day conference at the beginning of the week and the one-day EDAÍ seminar (a traditional carioca event in dynamics) at the end of the week, will allow speakers and participants to collaborate with local researchers.

The venues and other practicalities

The conference takes place at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), located at Terminal da PUC in the Gávea neighborhood. The conference auditorium is called Auditório Del Castillo (located on the second floor of RioDatacentro).

The EDAÍ seminar takes place at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), the campus Praia Vermelha, located at Avenida Pasteur 280 in the Urca neighborhood. The seminar auditorium is called Salão Pedro Calmon (located in the Palácio Universitário da Praia Vermelha).

To facilitate the collaboration between the participants during the week of the event, we have reserved some offices at PUC-Rio, on the 7th and 8th floors of the Leme building (where the Department of Mathematics is located). Later in the afternoon (after 17:00) you may use any (of the many) available classrooms in the Leme building. There is chalk outside the secretary's office on the 8th floor.

Lunch   At PUC, the restaurant Couve Flor has a self-service buffet with great options; we also have a few tables reserved at the restaurant Kitchen Café. Both are located across the creek in front of the conference auditorium. All students may use the university restaurant (Bandejão). On Friday, at UFRJ, the shopping center Casa & Gourmet, located 5 minutes by foot from the conference auditorium, has several good options.

For any questions regarding the venues, or any other practical questions, please contact one of the organizers or the students helping with the organization. They will be wearing a tag with the conference logo.
