The theme of Professor de la Llave's lectures will be the program of classification of dynamical systems (perhaps preserving a geometric structure) under smooth changes of variables.
The program of smooth classification should be compared with the program of classification under topological equivalence (Smale's program) or the classification under measurable changes of variables (ergodic theory).
Differentiable equivalence leads to more consequences than topological or measure theoretic equivalence since one can start discussing geometry and geometric structures. (Notice that it is the natural notion of equivalence among diffeomorphisms). Nevertheless, differentiable equivalence has many more constraints and obstructions than either topological equivalence or measure theoretic equivalence.
The set of lectures aims to cover in a unified way several sets of problems that are of current interest. Both in dynamical systems and in the relations with geometry and applications.
The aim of the lectures is to make this field of research accessible to a wide audience.
