Title:Levy-Khintchine theorems: a brief history and recent progress
Abstract: I will describe some beautiful limiting theorems on continued fractions. I will then introduce a method of interpreting these theorems using dynamical systems on homogeneous spaces. This interpretation allows us to provide a new perspective on this classical question, and to prove new results.
