Joint equidistribution problems naturally arise in number theory, for example when studying properties of arithmetic objects beyond uniform distribution. One prominent example is the mixing conjecture formulated by Michel and Venkatesh in their 2006 ICM address on sparse equidistribution problems. This conjecture has seen much progress recently and there are two (different) conditional proofs available now.
In this Special Topic School we will explore the interplay between tools from number theory and dynamical systems in the context of the mixing conjecture and beyond. The topics of the mini courses will cover both approaches and are tailored to give the participants a high level introduction to contemporary methods that are involved in the study of joint equidistribution problems.
