11th International Young Researcher Workshop on Geometry, Mechanics and Control

created by vitagliano on 15 Sep 2016

12 jan 2017 - 14 jan 2017

Mathematics Section, University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain

The 11th International Young Researchers Workshop on Geometry, Mechanics and Control will be the tenth anniversary of the series of workshops that have previously taken place in Madrid (2006, 2007), Barcelona (2008), Ghent (2009), La Laguna (2010), Coimbra (2012), Madrid (2012) , Barcelona (2013), Zaragoza (2015) and Paris (2016). Its goal is to bring together young researchers working in geometry, mechanics and control theory and to offer a platform to present the results of their research to an international audience.

The core of the workshop consists on 3 mini-courses, of 4 hours each, which serve as an introduction to different topics related to geometric structures in mechanics and control theory. The courses will be at a PhD and postdoctoral level, and it is expected that the young researchers will be, at the end of the workshop, able to access to the recent literature on the corresponding topics.

Along with the courses, there will be contributed short talks (30 minutes) and a poster session. Attendance is, of course, open to anyone, but in particular young researchers (PhD-students, recent PhD's) are encouraged to submit a talk or poster proposal.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that can be covered during the workshop:

Geometry: (multi)symplectic geometry, Poisson and Jacobi manifolds, Lie groups, Lie algebroids and Lie groupoids. Mechanics: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems, non-holonomic mechanics, calculus of variations, mechanical systems with symmetry, conservation laws and reduction, classical field theories, geometric integration of mechanical systems, geometric quantization. Control: optimal control theory, control of mechanical systems, geometric control.

Organizers: David Iglesias, Juan Carlos Marrero, Edith PadrĂ³n, Diana Sosa.

Speakers: Alejandro Cabrera , Marco Caponigro, Nicola Sansonetto.
