Statistics, hyperbolicity and related problems (SHARP)
23-27 March 2026, The University of Warwick
This conference revolves around the success and on-going potential of how concepts in both hyperbolic dynamics and thermodynamic formalism manifest in other problems. Known applications are diverse: from classical counting geodesics to more modern counting problems in spaces retaining some hyperbolicity; characterisation of Hausdorff dimension of fractal sets; spectrum and limit laws for group extensions. This conference is also an opportunity to celebrate the 60th birthday of Professor Richard Sharp, who has made many contributions to this field!
The conference spans Monday afternoon to Friday morning, with invited talks, contributed talks, and ample time for networking, discussion, nourishment, and rest! There will be a conference dinner on Wednesday evening.
Confirmed speakers include
B. Schapira, M. Pollicott, F. Ledrappier, A. Pohl, W. Bahsoun, I. Gekhtman, M. Stadlbauer, I. Choi, S. Ghazouani, S. Baker, N. Kao, A. Gogolev, N. Jurga, K. Butt
