The workshop will bring together the theories of ergodicity, group actions, complexity and computability, cellular automata, thermodynamic formalism with its Gibbs measures and phase transitions, and analytic combinatorics, with symbolic dynamics as their main common subject. With a wide range of closely related topics of discussion encompassing one and multidimensional dynamics, decidability, particle models of statistical mechanics and more, the workshop will gather expert scientists and specialists as well as young researchers and postdocs in order to motivate new collaborations that will promote new developments in and contributions to these highly active and fascinating subjects.
