The subject of geometry and deformation theory of hyperbolic 3-manifolds has seen considerable change and advancement over the last three years. Central conjectures have been resolved, presenting a significant need and opportunity for results to be disseminated and absorbed and for new directions to be evaluated. The Department of Mathematics at Wesleyan University is holding a special semester on the topic of Hyperbolic Manifolds and Geometric Analysis in the Fall of 2004. The department has already invited Professor Richard Canary of the University of Michigan as distinguished visiting professor for the Fall semester 2004. Wesleyan faculty members Petra Bonfert-Taylor and Edward Taylor will also be leaders and organizers of this special semester.A centerpiece of the special semester will be a three-day conference to be held in October 2004. This conference will gather many of the originators of the recent exciting advances in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. It is expected that this conference will draw many graduate students and young mathematicians from the area, as well as established researchers in the field. The conference will be preceded by a one-day workshop for graduate students. The department further plans to invite a series of longer-term visitors, to enable more sustained research activity. It is hoped that hyperbolic geometers and geometric analysts from the area will also be involved in the special semester on an ongoing basis. For the finale of this special semester Wesleyan University will host a public lecture designed to be accessible to the entire Wesleyan community.

在过去的三年里，双曲三维流形的几何和变形理论的主题已经发生了相当大的变化和进步。核心问题已经解决，这为传播和吸收成果以及评价新的方向提供了巨大的需要和机会。卫斯理大学数学系将于2004年秋季举办一个特别的学期，主题是双曲流形和几何分析。本系已邀请美国密西根大学的Richard Canary教授为二零零四年秋季学期的杰出客座教授。卫斯理大学的教师佩特拉·邦弗·泰勒和爱德华·泰勒也将是这个特别学期的领导者和组织者。这个特别学期的中心活动将是2004年10月举行的为期三天的会议。 这次会议将聚集许多最近在双曲三维流形令人兴奋的进展的创始人。预计这次会议将吸引许多研究生和年轻的数学家从该地区，以及建立在该领域的研究人员。会议之前将为研究生举办为期一天的研讨会。 该部门还计划邀请一系列长期访问者，以使研究活动更加持续。希望双曲几何学家和几何分析师从该地区也将参与在一个持续的基础上特别学期。对于这个特殊学期的最后一个学期，卫斯理大学将举办一个公开讲座，旨在让整个卫斯理社区都能参加。
