International Conference on Dynamical Systems – Dedicated to The Memory of Jacob Palis

The International Conference on Dynamical Systems is an event that has been organized since 1981, with a four-year periodicity, although somewhat irregularly. Its main objective is to bring together world-renowned specialists in the field of Dynamical Systems — an area in which IMPA has played a fundamental role, consolidating a school with its own identity and fostering strong research groups throughout Brazil and Latin America.

In this context, Jacob Palis was a central figure in this process of development. In light of his recent passing, we dedicate this edition of the conference to his memory, in tribute to his trajectory and legacy.

The topics addressed at the conference will highlight Jacob Palis’s prolific contributions to Dynamical Systems and to Mathematics in general, without, however, being limited to them, also encompassing other related areas.
