Workshop: Geometry and Topology of Quotients, December 5-8, 2002, Tucson, Arizona

DMS-0217057P。Foth，P. Bressler，Y. Hu和J. Lu该奖项为积极研究的数学家提供了部分支持，这些数学家的支持手段有限，可以参加将于2002年12月在亚利桑那大学举行的关于“商的几何和拓扑”的研讨会。主要发言人是Igor Dolgachev（密歇根）、Mikhail Kapranov（多伦多）*、Janos Kollar（普林斯顿）*、Robert MacPherson（IAS和普林斯顿）*、Jun Li（斯坦福大学）、Reyer Sjamaar（康奈尔）（* -待确认）。全体讲座将调查最近的进展和当前的研究方向在几何不变理论和辛约化，解释与其他学科的联系和应用物理。除了主要的讲座外，还将有专题演讲和圆桌讨论。研讨会将为年轻的研究人员提供一个论坛，以满足和互动与领先的专家，以及跨学科的传统界限的互动。鼓励妇女和少数民族研究人员参加。详细资料见 http://www.math.arizona.edu/~foth/gtq.html------------------------------------------------------------

DMS-0217057P. Foth, P. Bressler, Y. Hu, and J. LuThis award provides partial support for active research mathematicians with limited means of support to attend and participate in theWorkshop on "Geometry and Topology of Quotients" to be held at the University of Arizona in December of 2002. The main speakers are Igor Dolgachev (Michigan), Mikhail Kapranov (Toronto)*, Janos Kollar (Princeton)*, Robert MacPherson (IAS and Princeton)*,Jun Li (Stanford), Reyer Sjamaar (Cornell), (* - to be confirmed). The plenary lectures will survey recent progress and current directions ofresearch in Geometric Invariant theory and Symplectic Reductions,explain connections with other disciplines and applications to physics. In addition to principal lectures, there will be sessions of contributedtalks and round-table discussions. The workshop will provide a forum for young researchers to meet and interact with leading specialists as wellas for interactions across the traditional boundaries ofdisciplines. Women and minority researchers are encouraged to participate. Further information is available at http://www.math.arizona.edu/~foth/gtq.html------------------------------------------------------------
