U.S.-India Workshop: Quasiconformal Mappings, Geometric Functions, and Applications; Chennai, India, December 2005.

描述：该奖项为美国参加2005年12月在印度金奈举行的美印拟共形映射及其应用研讨会提供了支持。此外，几何函数理论、特殊函数及应用国际会议将于2006年1月初在印度本地治里举行。研讨会将集中讨论拟共形映射及其在几何函数理论中的作用。会议将集中讨论几何函数理论和特殊函数在这一研究领域所起的作用。这两项活动的主要目标是促进未来几何函数理论专家之间的互动，促进不同参与者之间的研究合作，特别是来自美国和年轻印度研究人员的研究合作。这些主题是目前全球范围内广泛的函数理论家的主要兴趣。活动范围：这项活动将促进国际合作，并在该学科领域发展未来的研究方向。预计将开发出适合提交给美国国家科学基金会数学科学部的合作提案。美国代表团将包括6名高级科学家、6名博士后和8名研究生。未获此奖项支持的杰出演讲者将在研讨会和会议上发挥主导作用，以促进合作研究。研讨会和会议记录将作为国际知名杂志的特刊出版。数学科学部为本次研讨会提供了共同资金支持。

0536665Barnard Description: This award provides support for US participation in the US-India Workshop on Quasiconformal Mappings and its Applications, Chennai, India, December 2005. In conjunction with the workshop, an International Conference on Geometric Function Theory, Special Function and Applications will be held in Pondicherry, India in early January 2006. The workshop will concentrate on Quasiconformal Mappings and the role played by them in Geometric Function Theory. The conference will focus on Geometric Function Theory and the role played by Special Functions in this area of research. The primary goal of both activities is to stimulate future interactions among experts in Geometric Function Theory and promote research collaborations among the various participants, particularly those from the U.S. and young Indian researchers. These topics are of current primary interest to a wide range of function theorists around the globe. Scope: This activity will be catalytic in promoting international collaboration as well as developing future research directions in the subject area. It is expected that collaborative proposals suitable for submission to the Division of Mathematical Sciences at NSF will be developed. The US delegation will include 6 senior scientists, 6 postdocs, and 8 graduate students. Distinguished speakers not supported by this award will play a leading role at the workshop and conference to catalyze collaborative research. The proceedings of the workshop and conference will be published as a special issue of a reputed international journal. The Division of Mathematical Science is providing cofunding to support this workshop.
