Rigidity and flexibility questions in dynamics

Abstract

The interplay between rigidity and flexibility is a general concept in various fields of mathematics. We will demonstrate the principles involved and some of the approaches to such questions in dynamical systems. We will largely proceed by analyzing one class of examples: smooth Anosov volume preserving diffeomorphisms on a torus.
