Theory of Dynamical Systems and Transport Phenomena in Normal Metals

The results of recent studies in the theory of dynamical systems related to the motion of electrons on complex Fermi surfaces in normal metals are presented. The problem considered is closely related to the description of electron transport phenomena in strong magnetic fields and is therefore of great interest from the viewpoint of topology and dynamical systems theory. We will try to give a brief overview of the state of the art in this research area, as well as point out a number of interesting issues that are being actively studied at present.
