Spring 2010 Meeting of the
Workshop on Dynamical Systems and Related Topics
in honor of
Dan Rudolph
This conference, originally scheduled in honor of Dan Rudolph
on the occasion of his being 60, is dedicated to him in memory.
Dan Rudolph Memorial Volume of ETDS
There will be a volume of Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems
dedicated to Dan Rudolph, who served for many years on the editorial
board. The volume editors are accepting submissions
of research articles for the volume. All submissions will be refereed
to the high mathematical and expository standards of ETDS.
Preference will be given to articles which are related to Dan Rudolph's
mathematics, or by authors with strong mathematical connections
to Dan Rudolph. The deadline for submission of an
article to the volume is Dec. 31, 2010. Articles
may be submitted to any of the editors:
- Vitaly Bergelson (vitaly@math.ohio-state.edu)
- Mike Boyle (mmb@math.umd.edu)
- Benjamin Weiss (weiss@math.huji.ac.il)

Program and Participants
Here is the

Here is a
LIST OF PARTICIPANTS.
Here is a
LIST OF TALKS AND ABSTRACTS.
Virtual Talks
There are always more good results then there are talk slots.
Therefore we invite
participants to submit abstracts of "virtual" talks, with links if desired.
We will post these Virtual Talk abstracts and links
HERE
and also put abstracts on bulletin board at the conference. In the
event
of last minute cancellation by a schedule speaker, we will look through the
virtual talks for possible replacements. Email abstracts (text, html
or pdf) to Mike Boyle, mmb@math.umd.edu .

Conference Organizers
Conference Wiki and Sharing Rooms
Here is a
link
to a wiki for the conference. The purpose is to facilitate
communication among conference participants, especially with
regard to lodging arrangments such as sharing rooms to reduce
expense. For example, if you are looking for someone to share
a room with, you can type in at the link, and likewise delete your
posting after you've made arrangements.
Lodging
In general, participants (other than invited speakers)
who need rooms should phone a motel directly.
Three local motels are
listed below, with the rates they have offered our group
("UMCP Math Department--Spring Conference").
NOTE: our room blocks and
rates are guaranteed only until March 9, 2010.
Rates Extension:
Clarion Inn , Comfort Inn
and Days Inn have extended the
rates deadline above to March 25, 2010.
Quality Inn has extended its rates deadline
to April 2, 2010.
Participants from abroad or others who can use help making a
reservation can contact Mike Boyle (mmb@math.umd.edu).
(Generally a credit card number is needed, but if that is
problematic we will find another solution.)

Google maps if you like: get directions from (e.g.) 6801 Baltimore Ave
College Park MD to Building 082, College Park, MD 20742 (Department
of Physics). The Physics Building is next to the Math Building.
Travel and parking information

directions to the math department by car and a map for parking.
Please note that this year's conference is NOT during our campus's
spring break, so all parking rules must be followed strictly.
We CANNOT reimburse or waive parking tickets. On weekdays until 4:00
PM,
you must
park in a visitor lot (expensive -- up to $15/day),
the closest of which is marked in yellow on the map
at the link above. The Math building, where the conference will be,
is also in yellow on that map.

department by public transportation.

three Washington-area airports. Dulles airport is the most inconvenient
of the three area airports.
The Maryland-Penn State Dynamics Workshop
This workshop has been hosted each fall since 1991 by Penn State
University and each spring since 1992 by the University of Maryland,
and is jointly sponsored by the two institutions.
We are grateful to the
National Science Foundation
and to our
Department of Mathematics
for their continued support of these workshops.

Geometry
at Penn State, which contains information on the Penn State meetings.
