Explore models for dynamical systems in one and two dimensions in this lecture by André de Carvalho from the Universidade de São Paulo. Delve into the Milnor-Thurston theorem, which demonstrates that multimodal endomorphisms of the interval are semi-conjugate to piecewise linear maps with constant absolute slope (plcas). Examine how these models maintain the same topological entropy as the original endomorphisms. Investigate measurable pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphisms as potential two-dimensional analogs of plcas interval endomorphisms. Consider a conjectural extension of the Milnor-Thurston theorem for sufficiently smooth surface diffeomorphisms. Discover connections between this topic and Teichmüller Theory, as well as the geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. This 1 hour and 40 minute lecture is part of the Simons Semester on Dynamics series.
