NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences: Fully Nonlinear Equations in Geometry

非线性偏微分方程的研究是必要的无数problemsfrom不同的学科：物理学，经济学，生物学等完全非线性方程是一个较新的主题在这一领域，但其重要性正在增加，由于越来越多的连接到其他领域。 特别是，卡-丘流形的特殊拉格朗日子流形的研究在弦理论中特别有意义，因此也是物理学家和数学家的活跃研究领域。由于该领域的快速发展和广泛兴趣，它自然成为CBMS区域会议的主题。 新进入该领域的研究人员和研究生可以看到如何将当前感兴趣的几何问题重新表述为非线性偏微分方程的问题，同时见证问题的几何方面通知分析方面的通常令人惊讶的方式（反之亦然）。增加会议吸引力的是首席讲师Neil Trudinger教授。 他作为一个杰出的研究者和天才的评论家的声誉使他成为一个理想的选择，提供讲座。 此外，会议产生的专题论文将引起广泛领域科学家的兴趣。

The study of nonlinear partial differential equations is necessitated by countless problemsfrom diverse disciplines: physics, economics, biology, etc. Fully nonlinear equations is a more recent subject within this field, but its importance is increasing due to the growing number of connections to other fields. In particular, the study of special Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds is of particular interest in string theory, and consequently an active area of research among physicists and mathematicians alike.Because of the rapid growth and broad interest of the field, it is a natural topic for a CBMS Regional Conference. Researchers and graduate students who are new to the field can see how geometric problems of current interest can be reformulated as problems in nonlinear PDE, and at the same time witness the often surprising ways in which the geometric aspects of the problem inform the analytic aspects (and vice versa).Adding to the appeal of the meeting is the principal lecturer, Prof. Neil Trudinger. His reputation as an eminent researcher and gifted expositor make him an ideal choice to deliver the lectures. Moreover, the monograph resulting from the meeting will be of interest to scientists in a wide range of fields.
