Presentation

The aim of this school is to introduce the younger researchers and graduate students from Colombia and north of Latin America to recent results in difference equations. We will focalize on Galois theory for linear systems of difference equations and present it from different perspectives : algorithmic, algebraic, analytic, arithmetical and geometrical. We will insist on the interplay between all these aspects and applications to arithmetic or to integrability of dynamical systems.

We hope this school will increase the number of students in the Master Program of Sergio Arboleda University support the opening of a Doctoral Program and the Instituto de Matematicas y sus Aplicaciones.
