Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2004

AbstractAward：DMS-0333763首席研究员：Liviu Nicolaescu五大湖几何会议将于2004年4月17日至18日在圣母大学举行。 可能的主题会谈在会议上包括规范理论方法在low-dimensionaltopology，辛和接触拓扑，Gromov-Witteninvariants，镜像对称，黎曼几何。 这次会议预计将提供八到九个六十分钟的电视节目，以及在非正式环境中进行互动的时间。这是在五大湖州举办的一系列会议中的第六次。 财政支持是特别针对研究生在几何和拓扑学在整个中西部，会议的目的是提供一个非正式的设置研究生和初级研究人员从该地区了解最新的趋势，并与领导人在这些领域。 在最初作为里根州立大学和威斯康星州大学的联合项目之后，大湖会议已经在其他校区举行，包括西北大学和密歇根大学。

AbstractAward: DMS-0333763Principal Investigator: Liviu NicolaescuThe Great Lakes Geometry Conference will meet on April 17-18,2004 at the University of Notre Dame. Likely topics for talks atthe meeting include gauge theoretic methods in low-dimensionaltopology, symplectic and contact topology, Gromov-Witteninvariants, mirror symmetry, and Riemannian geometry. Theconference is expected to offer eight or nine sixty-minutelectures as well as time for interactions in an informal setting.This is the sixth in a series of conferences that run campuses inthe Great Lakes states. Financial support is particularly aimedat graduate students in geometry and topology throughout themidwest, and the conference is intended to provide an informalsetting for graduate students and junior researchers from theregion to learn of recent trends and to interact with leaders inthese fields. After originating as a joint project of MichiganState University and the University of Wisconsin, Great Lakesconferences have been held at other campuses, includingNorthwestern University and the University of Michigan.
