US-France Cooperative Research: Discrete Groups, Representation Varieties, and CR-Geometry

约翰·霍普金斯大学的理查德·A·温特沃斯和巴黎六世大学的伊莉莎·法贝尔获得了这个为期三年的美法合作数学奖。这个项目的目标是在离散群和低维流形的几何分析领域进行集中的合作研究。他们将研究U(N)中表面群的表示，以及球面CR流形的变形理论和刚性问题。这位美国研究人员将表面群表示的几何分析方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。这与法国在CR流形、离散群及其变形方面的专业知识相辅相成。该奖项代表了美国方面向NSF和法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)提出的联合建议。NSF将支付这名美国调查员和研究生的旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持这位法国研究人员和学生访问美国。美国和法国的研究生将受益于研究的国际化方法和他们工作的国际曝光率。

0232724WentworthThis three-year award for U.S.-France collaboration in mathematics involves Richard A. Wentworth at Johns Hopkins University and Elisha Falbel at the University of Paris VI. The objective of this project is a concentrated collaborative research effort in the area of discrete groups and geometrical analysis of low dimensional manifolds. They will study representation of surface groups in U (n) and the deformation theory and rigidity issues of spherical CR manifolds. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the geometrical analytic aspects of representations of surface groups. This is complemented by French expertise in CR manifolds, discrete groups and their deformations. This award represents the U.S. side of a joint proposal to the NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the U.S. investigator and graduate student. The CNRS will support the visits of the French researcher and student to the United States. U.S. and French graduate students will benefit from the international approach to research and international exposure for their work.
