The 1st summer school on geometry of differential equations
The summer school will take place 17-21 September 2012 and will be held in the Institute of Mathematics of Silesian University in Opava, Czech Republic.
Applications should be sent to: school-gde@math.slu.cz
There is no formal deadline for applications, but please contact the organizers as soon as possible, because of limited capacity of the school.
There will be two parallel courses:
Basic Course: Symmetry and conservation laws
(Raffaele Vitolo, University of Salento, and Giovanni Moreno, Silesian University in Opava)
- Jet spaces
- Differential equations
- Symmetries, conservation laws and their computation
- Applications of symmetries and conservation laws
Advanced Course: Recursion operators
(Joseph Krasil'shchik, Silesian University in Opava and Moscow Independent University, and Alexander Verbovetsky, Moscow Independent University)
- Coverings
- Nonlocal symmetries
- Recursion operators and their computation
- Examples
- Hereditary property of recursion operators and related concepts
The basic course is aimed at the beginners, with the pace and style of presentation to match. The advanced course is aimed at the students who are already familiar with the contents of the basic course.
The courses will provide students with a comprehensive presentation of the respective subjects, and introduce them to the basic motivations, methods and results of the relevant field of study. The participants will also be informed about the open problems in the field.
The courses will include training sessions, in the course of which which the participants will learn to use the software for the computer-aided calculation of symmetries and conservation laws, resp.\ of coverings and recursion operators.
Participation in the school is free of charge.
Travel and subsistence costs are to be covered by the participants themselves.
