Ergodicity breaking, stationarity and local equilibrium
Abstract: The presentation reveals a fundamental dichotomy in ergodic theory between subsets of vanishing and
non-vanishing measure with respect to their induced automorphisms. The observation seems to be related
to fundamental open problems of statistical physics such as local equilibrium in time and emerges from
a scaling limit.

Beyond Topological Hyperbolicity
Abstract: In this talk we will discuss the dynamics of systems admitting some sort of hyperbolicity on non-trivial continua. They are called Continuum-wise Hyperbolic. We plan to introduce interesting examples of these systems and to characterize the possible dynamic phenomena which can occur.

The dual Minkowski problem
Abstract: The (classical) Minkowski problem asked for sufficient and necessary conditions such that a finite Borel measure on the sphere is the surface area measure of a convex body. Its solution, based on works by Minkowski, Aleksandrov and Fenchel&Jessen, is one of the centerpieces of the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory.
There are two far-reaching extensions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the L_p-Brunn-Minkowski theory and the dual Brunn-Minkowski
theory. In the talk we will discuss the analog of the (classical) Minkowski problem within the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory, i.e., the characterization problem of the dual curvature measures. These measures were recently introduced by Huang, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang and are the counterparts to the surface area measures within the dual theory.

Monotonicity for random polytopes
Abstract: Random polytopes are classical objects studied at the crossroad of convex geometry and probability. In this talk we discuss several monotonicity questions for random polytopes. As a special case we consider the expected f-vector of random projections of regular polytopes.
