In this course we give an introduction to the ergodic theory behind common number expansions, like expansions to integer and non-integer bases, Luroth series and continued fraction expansion. Starting with basic ideas in ergodic theory such as ergodicity, the ergodic theorem and natural extensions, we apply these to the familiar expansions mentioned above in order to understand the structure and global behaviour of different number theoretic expansions, and to obtain new and old results in an elegant and straightforward manner.

In order to control locally a space-­‐time which satisfies the Einstein equations, what are the minimal assumptions one should make on its curvature tensor? The bounded L2 curvature conjecture roughly asserts that one should only need L2 bounds of the curvature tensor on a given space-­‐like hypersurface. This conjecture has its roots in the remarkable developments of the last twenty years centered around the issue of optimal well-­‐posedness for nonlinear wave equations. In this context, a corresponding conjecture for nonlinear wave equations cannot hold, unless the nonlinearity has a very special nonlinear structure. I will present the proof of this conjecture, which sheds light on the specific null structure of the Einstein equations. This is joint work with Sergiu Klainerman and Igor Rodnianski. These lectures will start from scratch and require no specific background.

We will first introduce the basic concepts pertaining to Kobayashi pseudo-distances and hyperbolic complex spaces, including Brody’s theorem and the Ahlfors-Schwarz lemma. One of the main goals of the theory is to understand conditions under which a given algebraic variety is Kobayashi hyperbolic. This leads to the introduction of jet spaces and jet metrics, and provides a strong link between the existence of entire curves and the existence of global algebraic differential equations.

In these lectures I will first recall the basic notions and results that are needed to study minimal surfaces in the smooth setting (above all the area formula and the first variation of the area), give a short review of the main (classical) techniques for existence results, and then outline the theory of Finite Perimeter Sets, including the main results of the theory (compactness, structure of distributional derivative, rectifiability). If time allows, I will conclude with a few applications.
