Mathematical Sciences: Midwest Geometry Conference: 1995 -1997

9503518延森中西部几何会议是一年一度的会议，致力于向中西部数学家社区传播微分几何的重要最新进展。每一次会议都专门讨论少数几个专题，目的是创造一种集中的环境，有利于活跃的思想交流，在这种环境中，这一区域的几何学家社区可以从与这些选定领域的一些主要贡献者的接触中受益。尤其是，将自己确定为差异几何学家世界共同体的活跃成员，使青年数学家有了更广泛的目的感，并引导他们走上更有成效和更相关的研究道路。将分别于1995年在密苏里州圣路易斯的华盛顿大学、1996年在俄克拉何马大学诺曼和1997年在堪萨斯大学劳伦斯举行一系列三次年度会议。圣路易斯会议以四次全体演讲为中心：芝加哥大学的Robert J.Zimmer，关于群体行动的微分几何、动力学和刚性；南加州大学的Francis Bonahon，关于三流形、双曲几何和折叠；东北大学的Chuu-Lian Terng，关于子流形理论；克劳德·勒布伦，纽约州立大学石溪分校，关于Kaehler几何和特殊度量。根据往年的经验，主办方预计将有大约60至70名数学家和研究生教职人员参加。***

9503518 Jensen The Midwest Geometry Conference is an annual meeting dedicated to the dissemination of important recent advances in differential geometry to the community of midwestern mathematicians. Each conference is devoted to a small number of topics, and the aim is to create a focussed environment, conducive to a lively exchange of ideas, in which this regional community of geometers can benefit from contact with some of the leading contributors in those selected fields. Identifying themselves as active members of the world community of differential geometers gives young mathematicians, in particular, a sense of wider purpose and guides them into more productive and relevant research paths. A series of three annual meetings will be held, respectively, at Washington University, St. Louis, MO, in 1995, at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, in 1996, and at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, in 1997. The St. Louis meeting is centered on four plenary addresses: Robert J. Zimmer, University of Chicago, on Differential Geometry, Dynamics, and Rigidity of Group Actions; Francis Bonahon, University of Southern California, on Three- Manifolds, Hyperbolic Geometry, and Foliations; Chuu-Lian Terng, Northeastern University, on Submanifold Theory; Claude Lebrun, SUNY at Stony Brook, on Kaehler Geometry and Special Metrics. Based on the experience of previous years, the organizers expect the participation of approximately 60 to 70 faculty mathematicians and graduate students. ***
