Geometry And Dynamics: International Conference in Honor of the 60th Anniversary of Alberto Verjovsky, Cuernavaca, Mexico, January 6-11, 2003

In these proceedings from the January 2003 conference, contributors describe their work in dynamical systems, geometry and topology. Specific topics include phase-parameter relation and sharp statistical properties for general families of unimodal maps, Hamiltonian operators in a noncommutative world, the deformation of space as a complete affine structure on the 2-torus smooth, parabolic foliations, the H-principle and pseudoconcave CF manifolds, wild knots as limit sets of Kleinian groups, an extension of the Burau representation to a mapping class group associated to Thompson's group T, Paonlevé's Theorems I and II, and the growth rate of contractible closed geodesics on reducible manifolds.
