   Speaker: Boris Kalinin (Pennsylvania State University)

   Title:  Smooth rigidity and classification for hyperbolic systems and
actions

    Abstract: Hyperbolic actions of ^   k and  ^kextend the classical
notion of Anosov diffeomorphisms and flows, which are hyperbolic actions of
 and . In contrast to the rank one case, higher rank hyperbolic actions
exhibit various rigidity properties. I will focus on the problem of smooth
classification, that is finding a smooth conjugacy to an algebraic model. I
will give an overview of this area and compare it with the rank one case,
where the natural problem is either topological classification or smooth
classification under extra assumptions.
