Activity
Introduction:
Welcome to the Joint Stamp conference and 9th ICMAT International Summer School on Geometry, Mechanics and Control organised by the GMC network.
The format of this year edition is different because it is a joint activity with the STAMP program at ICMAT on Spectral Theory and Mathematical Physics. That is why the topics of this summer school focus on Symplectic Geometry, Classical Mechanics and Interactions with Spectral Theory.
The school is oriented to young researchers, Ph.D. and postdoctoral students in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering, in particular those interested in symplectic geometry and mathematical physics. This activity consists of three courses (4 hours 30 minutes each) and around ten talks (40 minutes each) by invited guests. The courses will present an up-to-date view of some fundamental issues in the above-mentioned areas and bring to the participants attention some open problems, in particular, problems related to applications. The confirmed courses this year are:
-
Dan Cristofaro-Gardiner (Mathematics Department, Harvard University, USA):
Symplectic embedding problems. -
Florin Diacu (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, Canada):
The N-body problem in spaces of constant curvature. -
Chris Woodward (Department of Mathematics, Rutgers University, USA):
Integrable systems, Floer theory, and the minimal model program.
The confirmed invited speakers for the talks are:
-
María Barbero (Departamento de Matemáticas, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid-ICMAT, Spain):
Where to find Morse families in geometric mechanics? -
Luis García Naranjo (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico):
Relative equilibria for the 2-body problem in the hyperbolic plane. -
David Iglesias (Departamento de Matemáticas, Estadística e Investigación Operativa, Universidad de La Laguna, Spain):
Some aspects on the integration of Poisson manifolds. -
Yohann Le Floch (Tel Aviv University, Israel):
Some inverse spectral results for semiclassical operators. -
Melvin Leok (Department of Mathematics, University of California, San Diego, USA):
Space-time finite-element exterior calculus and variational discretizations of Gauge field theories. in stochastic dynamics -
Fraydoun Rezakhanlou (University of California, Berkeley, USA):

How to get here:
Last minute information: There is a bus scheduled on Sunday afternoon, June 21, 2015, that will depart at 7 pm from C/Serrano 113 in Madrid to Miraflores de la Sierra. Please send an e-mail to 9gmcschoolicmat.es if you want to take it. Please be on time.
There will a bus back to Madrid on Friday, July 3, 2015, after lunch, around 3pm.
Arrival by plane
You can take a taxi from the airport, but this is an expensive choice (at least 90 Euros, but be sure to ask for the price beforehand). You can also take a taxi from the Airport to Plaza de Castilla (around 45 Euros) and then take a bus to Miraflores.
A good choice is taking the Metro from the Airport to Plaza de Castilla, and then a bus to Miraflores. At the airport, take the Metro (underground), Line 8 (pink) to "Colombia" (3 stations). Transfer in Colombia to line 9 (purple) to "Plaza de Castilla" (3 stations). This should take about 25 minutes. In any case you can ask for a free map of the Metro when you buy a ticket.
Once you have reached Plaza de Castilla there are a lot of bus stops between the two big inclined towers. Only one (number 725) goes to Miraflores de Sierra. Look for number 725 (Madrid - Plaza de Castilla to Miraflores de la Sierra, Bustarviejo). Here you can find the current timetable for bus 725.
A taxi from Plaza de Castilla to Miraflores costs minimum 70 Euros.
The trip to Miraflores de la Sierra takes approximately 60 minutes and departure is aprox. every hour from 7.30 a.m. to 23.15 p.m. Your stop is the next after "Soto del Real". Once you get off, you still have to walk around 20 minutes up along the main road to get to La Cristalera.
A one-way ticket to Miraflores by bus number 725 costs about 5.10 Euros.
Arrival by train
Coming from the North, the train station is usually Chamartin. From Chamartin, you can take the Metro (line 10: dark blue) to Plaza de Castilla but it is only one station and it is also easy to walk from Chamartin to Plaza Castilla. If you arrive at Atocha, you can take the Metro (line 1: light blue, 13 stations) to Plaza Castilla and follow the above mentioned instructions for the bus.
Arrival by car
Take the big periferial highway M-40. If you come from the south, Portugal, or the Zaragoza Highways, take direction North (N-I). If you come from the Burgos Highway (N-I) take the direction M-607 Tres Cantos- Colmenar Viejo. Go out of the M-40 to the M-607 Highway towards Tres Cantos-Colmenar viejo. When the Highway ends (roughly 30 km) take the direction Miraflores. After 30 km you will reach the village. Once there, follow the signs towards La Cristalera, or Puerto de la Morcuera. One km outside the village you will find the entrance to the residence on your left (but watch out for it since sign is not a big one and may be missed.
