Title: Microlocal methods in chaotic dynamics  

Abstract:

Microlocal analysis exploits mathematical manifestations of the classical/quantum (particle/wave) correspondence and has been a successful tool in spectral theory and partial differential equations.  Recently, microlocal methods have been applied to the study of classical dynamical problems, in particular of chaotic (Anosov, Axiom A) flows. I will survey results obtained with Dyatlov and present some more recent results of, among others, Guillarmou, Dang–Riviere, Shen, Bonthonneau–Weich.
