(First Announcement)
The main theme of this meeting will be:
The dynamical consequences of time-reversal symmetry in dynamical systems with
discrete time (mappings) and continuous time (flows), with an emphasis on
- Time-reversal symmetry in combination with other symmetry properties
- Time-reversible versus Hamiltonian dynamics
- Time-reversal symmetry in applications
The workshop intends to bring together scientists from various branches of
(applied) mathematics and (theoretical) physics who have been dealing with
time-reversal symmetry in dynamical systems. The meeting will deal with
various types of time-reversal symmetry, including
- conventional time-reversibility (in Hamiltonian systems)
- unconventional time-reversibility (including noninvolutory reversing
symmetries)
- further generalizations, such as reversing k-symmetry
The workshop intends to cover a broad spectrum of dynamical phenomena,
such as
- bifurcation theory and symmetry breaking
- homoclinic and heteroclinic behaviour
- KAM-theory
- symmetry properties of attractors and omega-limit sets
- renormalisation and scaling
and to highlight the use of time-reversal symmetry in applications,
including e.g.
- classical dynamics
- fluid dynamics
- quantum dynamics (quantum chaos)
- statistical physics
