Opis

This volume contains articles that describe the connections between ergodic theory and convergence, rigidity theory, and the theory of joinings. These papers present the background of each area of interaction, the most outstanding recent results, and the currently promising lines of research. In the aggregate, they will provide a perfect introduction for anyone beginning research in one of these areas.
