There will be organised discussions on

  1. Statistical properties and smooth ergodic theory (Galatolo)
  2. Dimension, exponents and related quantities {Baker)
  3. Random matrix products and related results (Sert)

Accommodation

All non-local participants will be accommodated on campus in Radcliffe conference centre (which includes breakfast). and bookings are made by the Mathematics Research Centre (MRC, mrc@warwick.ac.uk) based on the dates provided.

Participants will be contacted directly by the MRC with details.

Meals and refreshments

The lunches and dinners will be served in the UG workroom on the ground floor of the Zeeman building. The coffee breaks will be outside the lecture room (Monday-Tuesday) and in the Complexity Science lounge on the first floor of the Zeeman building (Wednesday-Friday).

Getting to Warwick University

Warwick University is located approximately 3 miles from Coventry (and not very close to Warwick, the town).
From Coventry railway station it is straightforward to reach the university by bus, uber or taxi.
The nearest airport is Birmingham Airport (BHX) which approximately 20 miles away. There is a direct train from the station at Birmingham Airport (called Birmingham International) to Coventry which takes between 10 and 25 minutes. Alternatively, one can try an uber or taxi (for less than £50)

Heathrow is approximately 90 miles away. There are infrequent buses (byNational Express)to Coventry (Pool Meadow coach station) which typically take 2 to 2.5 hours. Alternatively, one can take theLondon Undergroundfrom Heathrow to Euston (less than 1 hour) and then take a train to Coventry (which takes between 1 and 2 hours).

Where can I eat on a Sunday evening?

The options for eating on campus are a little limited on weekends. Two places with food are:

There may also be options for eating at Radcliffe. However, there are a variety of more interesting restaurants in Kenilworth, which is 3.5 miles away, or a short bus/taxi/uber ride away (e.g., The Indian Edge, The Thai Kitchen, The Tambayan, etc.).

Local attractions

In addition to the 12C ruined Kenilworth castle, Kenilworth has a number of pubs and restaurants. Also of interest are Leamington Spa and Warwick (approximately 8 miles away). Although of less interest, Coventry (3 miles away) is home to Coventry Cathedral,  Phil Silvers Archival museum and the Belgrade theatre (which currently has the pantomime of Dick Wittington (with festive cross-dressing, slapstick and bad jokes). The better known Royal Shakespeare theatre in Statford-upon-Avon (approximately 14 miles away) has performances of Twelfth Night (continuing the cross dressing theme).

In Birmingham there is Symphony Hall, the home to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
