Workshop on Symplectic Dynamics

Let $\phi : \mathbb R\times X\to X$ be a dynamical system, an $\mathbb R$-action, defined on the metric space $X$. A nonempty, closed invariant set is minimal if it contains no proper, nonempty, closed invariant subset. We will show a construction yielding dynamical systems with a nested sequence of invariant sets whose intersection is empty on non-compact boundaryless 3-manifolds, matchbox manifolds and 2-dimensional surfaces.
