In this course we wil explore some techniques in ergodic theory (measurable dynamics) with applications to rigidity phenomena. In particular we will discuss interactions between amenability, lattices in higher-rank, and hyperbolic-like groups. Schedule The course will meet from 9:30 - 12 in LCB 222 except on Thursday when we will meet in INSCC 345. In the afternoon there will be problem sessions and/or supplementary lectures. The exact schedule will be determined during the course and details will be posted here as they are decided.
