Southern California Geometric Analysis Seminar

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This award provides partial support for the Southern California Geometric Analysis Seminar, an annual two-day conference at the University of California, Irvine, which is designed to promote interaction among the members of the Southern California mathematics community who work in the field of Geometric Analysis and related areas. The major goals of this project are to bring graduate students and young researchers together with top-ranking senior researchers in the field and to serve as a conduit for the flow of ideas. In the past, these meetings have led to new collaborations and new results whose impact grows in significance long after the conference is concluded. The importance of such conferences is heightened in the area of Geometric Analysis because this is a field which cuts across many areas of mathematics, both pure and applied, and thus requires its practitioners to come in frequent contact with a wide variety of ideas and methods. Topics covered in the past include gauge theories, Riemannian geometry, sympletic geometry, evolution equations, and curvature flows.
