#### Dynamics and Rigidity 1: Introduction to Ergodic Theory

###### Venkata Sai Narayana Bavisetty

Abstract: This talk will be an introduction to Ergodic Theory with the goal being to develop the necessary background to prove and understand the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on hyperbolic manifolds.

#### Dynamics and Rigidity 2: Ergodicity of Geodesic Flow

###### Venkata Sai Narayana Bavisetty

Abstract: I will first present a proof of the ergodicity of the geodesic flow for compact hyperbolic surfaces and then will generalize these ideas to prove ergodicity of the geodesic flow for compact hyperbolic n-manifolds.
