چکیده
Elon Lindenstrauss was awarded the 2010 Fields Medal for his results on measure rigidity in ergodic theory, and their applications to number theory. The web page of the ICM 2010 contains the following brief description of Elon Lindenstrauss’ achievements: Lindenstrauss has made far-reaching advances in ergodic theory, the study of measure preserving transformations. His work on a conjecture of Furstenberg and Margulis concerning the measure rigidity of higher rank diagonal actions in homogeneous spaces has led to striking applications. Specifically, jointly with Einsiedler and Katok, he established the conjecture under a further hypothesis of positive entropy. It has impressive applications to the classical Littlewood Conjecture in the theory of diophantine approximation. Developing these as well other powerful ergodic theoretic and arithmetical ideas, Lindenstrauss resolved the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak in the theory of modular forms. He and his collaborators have found many other unexpected applications of these ergodic theoretic techniques in problems in classical number theory. His work is exceptionally deep and its impact goes far beyond ergodic theory.

متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Ergodic Theory and Geometric Rigidity and Number Theory
Scientific background and objectives The central scientific theme of this programme was the recent development of applications of ergodic theory to other areas of mathematics, in particular, the connections with geometry, group actions and rigidity, and number theory. The potential of ergodic theory as a tool in number theory was emphasized by Furstenberg’s proof of Szemerdi’s theorem on arithm...
