Abstract
Differential equations on manifolds is a half-year course for the first-year students of master degree in mathematics. It is based on courses of Mathematical Analysis, Linear Algebra and Topology. The course is devoted to studying of classical and modern methods of qualitative theory of dynamical systems in manifolds and prepares students for understanding further courses Ergodic Theory, Theory of Local Bifurcations, Modern Theory of Dynamical Systems.
Learning Objectives
- Studying of basic methods of qualitative theory and important classes od dynamical systems on manifolds: local and global analysis, hyperbolic points and sets, energy function, Morse-Smale systems, hyperbolic systems.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- A student knows motivation and basic technics of the topic, is able to apply his knowledge to solution of textbook problems and confidently use a terminology of the subject.
Course Contents
- Topology of manifolds and vector fields on manifolds.Smooth manifolds. Differential equations and dynamical systems on manifolds. Transversality. Structural stability.
- Local analysis.Linear vector fields and maps. Behavior of orbits near regular point. Singular points. Index of singular point. Local classification of hyperbolic singular points. Invariant manifolds. Lambda-lemma.
