| THE 1977 WARSAW CONFERENCE, COCYCLES OVER Z k ACTIONS, AND RIGIDITY PROGRAM (2009) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Wieslaw Szlenk was the prime mover and the principal organizer of the 1977 Warsaw conference in dynamical systems. It was a pivotal event in the development of modern dynamics and the formation of the world-wide community which still after 28 years keeps many of its principal features. It was the place, probably almost the only one possible under the Cold War conditions prevailing at the time, for “East ” to meet “West”, for the leading researchers from the US and the Soviet Union in their prime (still mostly quite young) to meet each other in force and often for the first time, and to meet also with their up-and-coming European colleagues. I will share some recollections and show some images related to that conference. This is Wieslaw Szlenk on a Warsaw street and in the conference lecture room 1) Results announced and discussed in this note are based on research supported by NSF | |||||||||||||||
