Intensive Programme for Research in Geometrical Mechanics and Control Theory
Para la versión en español, haga click aquí.
The Intensive Programme for Research (IPR) which is proposed here is based on three axis: Geometry, Mechanics and Control, with a clear interconnection. We intend to boost the research in several topics of these fields using different lines of action. The specific topics which we intend to deal with are detailed below. Some of them constitute novel research lines and some of the research groups which will participate in this programme want to incorporate these lines in order to become an international reference.
We would like to influence on the training of young people in emerging research lines, offering a rigorous and deep understanding in these topics and approaching them to the applications. On the other hand, it is our purpose to give a larger international visibility to the high-quality research done by different Spanish groups, which have made important constributions to different open problems in the topics previously mentioned.
The Programme will be developed in a continuous way along 2008 in the facilities of ICMAT (Madrid) with timely actions at other Universities. These activities will consist in an opening Workshop on “Geometry, Mechanics and Control”, a Summer School with three advanced courses related to the topics of geometric reduction and its applications and Stochastic Mechanics, and an Iberoamerican Meeting on Geometric Mechanics and Control Theory. Moreover, along 2008, there will be thematic one-day meetings which will deal specific aspects in this area. In addition, there will be research visits of senior and junior researchers at ICMAT.
The topics in which we pretend to emphasize in this IPR are the following:
- Geometric Integration
- Geometric Control
- Quantum computation
- Classical Field Theory
- Geometric Theory of Hamilton Jacobi
- Simmetries and reduction in Mechanics from a geometric perspective and their applications
- Stochastic Mechanics
- Geometry and Integrability of mechanical systems
- Geometry of mechanical systems with constraints
All of them are centered around the applications of different techniques coming from Differential Geometry to problems in Mechanics, Control Theory and Field Theory.
