U.S.-Brazil Joint Workshop/Seminar in PDE's and Several Complex Variables; Negra, Brazil, August 2003

国际科学和工程办公室的美洲方案为坦普尔大学的Gerardo Mendza提供了支持，以便于2003年8月在巴西的Serra Negra举行为期一周的研讨会，讨论几个复变量和偏微分方程式领域的最新进展。讨论的主题包括：1)局部可积结构中的局部可解性；2)CR几何中的映射；3)向量场的L^p中的可解性；4)解析亚椭圆性和Treves猜想。目前的研究趋势将是主要为研究生和最近的博士设计的三门迷你课程的重点，这些课程的主题是局部可积结构的可解性、偏微分方程式中的向量丛和CR几何中的等价。巴西的联合组织者是圣卡洛斯大学的豪尔赫·胡尼和圣保罗大学的保罗·科达罗。巴西在研讨会的重点领域拥有非常强大的研究人员团队，来自美国和欧洲的领先研究人员将与他们一起参加这次会议。巴西每两年举办一次类似的研讨会，这些研讨会促成了巴西和美国研究人员之间富有成效的合作，主要期刊上的联合出版物证明了这一点。研究生和那些刚开始他们职业生涯的人将有机会向研讨会专题领域的许多领先研究人员学习并与他们交流想法。来自美国的受邀者包括来自科学界代表性不足的团体的几名成员。

The Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering provides Gerardo Mendoza of Temple University support for a week-long workshop on recent progress in the fields of several complex variables and partial differential equations to be held in Serra Negra, Brazil, in August 2003. Topics to be covered include 1) local solvability in locally integrable structures; 2) mappings in CR geometry; 3) solvability in L^p of vector fields; and 4) analytic hypoellipticity and the Treves Conjecture. Current research trends will be the focus of three mini courses designed primarily for graduate students and recent Ph.D.s on the topics of solvability in locally integrable structures, vector bundles in partial differential equations, and equivalences in CR geometry. Co-sponsoring organizers in Brazil are Jorge Hounie from Universidade do Sao Carlos and Paulo Cordaro of Universidade do Sao Paulo.Brazil has a very strong group of researchers in the areas of focus for the workshop, and leading researchers from the U.S. and Europe will join them for this meeting. Brazil has hosted similar workshops every two years, and these have led to fruitful collaborations between Brazilian and U.S. researchers, as evidenced by joint publications in leading journals. Graduate students and those at the beginning of their career will have an opportunity to learn from and exchange ideas with many leading researchers in the topical areas of the workshop. Invitees from the U.S. include several members from groups that are underrepresented in science.
