Title: Poincaré Theory for compact abelian one-dimensional solenoidal groups

Abstract: The notion of Poincaré rotation number for homeomorphisms of 
the unit circle is generalized to the case of homeomorphisms of a 
general compact abelian one--dimensional solenoidal group, which is also 
a one--dimensional foliated space; specifically, the theory is developed 
for the algebraic universal covering space of the circle (the adèle 
class group of the rationals).  Poincaré's dynamical classification 
theorem is also generalized to homeomorphisms of solenoids whose 
rotation element is an irrational element (i.e., monothetic generator) 
of the given group.

Venue: Kastler Lecture Hall, ICTP Adriatico Guest House.
