Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

摘要奖：DMS-0306656首席研究员：James A.Isenberg建议国家科学基金会为太平洋西北几何研讨会(PNGS)提供资金，该研讨会将于2003年7月1日至2006年6月30日在不列颠哥伦比亚大学、俄勒冈州立大学、俄勒冈大学、犹他大学、华盛顿大学、波特兰州立大学和斯坦福大学举行。PNG会议通常有4到5个由微分几何和代数几何领域的顶尖专家进行的应邀研究演讲。会议还包括讨论环节，演讲者和参与者评估几何领域的各个领域的状况，并突出这些领域的公开问题。参加太平洋西北几何研讨会的不同大学中有许多非常活跃的几何研究人员。这些定期会议将这些研究人员聚集在一起，进行咨询、合作和刺激新想法。由于会议上的互动，一些研究项目已经启动。PNG对于各参与大学的几何学研究生来说尤其有价值，这些大学都有很小的几何小组。PNG会议给了这些学生一个极好的机会，让他们看到更广泛的研究计量学图景。

AbstractAward: DMS-0306656Principal Investigator: James A. IsenbergIt is proposed that the National Science Foundation providefunding for the meetings of the Pacific Northwest GeometrySeminar (PNGS) to be held during the three-year period from July1, 2003 to June 30, 2006 at University of British Columbia,Oregon State University, University of Oregon, University ofUtah, University of Washington, Portland State University, andStanford University. PNGS meetings generally feature 4 or 5invited research talks by leading experts in differentialgeometry and algebraic geometry. The meetings also includediscussion sessions in which the speakers and participants assessthe state of various areas in geometry, and highlight openproblems in these areas.There are a number of very active researchers in geometryscattered throughout the various universities which are involvedin the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar. These periodicmeetings bring these researchers together for consultation,collaboration, and stimulation of new ideas. A number of researchprograms have been initiated as a result of interactions at thesemeetings. The PNGS is especially valuable for graduate studentsin geometry at the various participating universities which havesmall geometry groups. The PNGS meetings give these students anexcellent opportunity to see the broader picture of research ingeometry.
