AbstractThe principal investigators propose to organize the forth Yamabe Memorial Symposium, with an emphasis on geometry and analysis, at the School of Mathematics of the University of Minnesota from Friday to Sunday, September 26-28, 2008. The list of speakers includes Simon Brendle, Alice Chang, Jean-Pierre Demailly, Gerhard Huisken, Leon Simon, Yum-Tong Siu, Neil Trudinger and Burkhard Wilking.Professor Hidehiko Yamabe (1923--1960) was an active and highly collaborative mathematician in the School of Mathematics of the University of Minnesota from 1954 to 1960. His sudden illness and untimely death occurred in the same year that he moved to Northwestern University. His work on topological groups, geometry and analysis were outstanding contributions to modern mathematics. In year 2001, we proposed to enhance the Yamabe Memorial Lecture by creating the Yamabe Memorial Symposium, a top-level biennial geometry conference in the School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota. Every two years, perhaps in the Fall of even-numbered years, mathematicians will gather at the University of Minnesota for a long weekend to hear geometry talks, discuss the latest research and interact with graduate students and junior researchers. In each biennium, a specific area within geometry will be singled out for special emphasis.One goal will be, as a way to honor the memory of Hidehiko Yamabe, to advance areas of mathematics related to his interests, which touched in a substantial and ground-breaking way on several quite different areas of mathematics, all of which may be roughly described as having significant geometric aspects. At the same time, it will provide a valuable opportunity for graduate students and junior researchers to interact with, and learn from, mathematicians working at the highest international level. Finally, a long-lasting benefit will be the stimulation of innovative developments in mathematics research.The first, second and third Yamabe Memorial Symposium were held in 2002,2004 and 2006 respectively with a great success.The conference web page is http://www.math.umn.edu/yamabe/.

摘要主要研究者提议于2008年9月26日至28日（星期五至星期日）在明尼苏达大学数学学院组织第四届山边纪念研讨会，重点是几何和分析。发言者名单包括Simon Brendle、Alice Chang、Jean-Pierre Demailly、Gerhard Huisken、Leon Simon、Yum-Tong Siu、Neil Trudinger和Burkhard Wilking。山边英彦教授（1923- 1960）是明尼苏达大学数学学院的一位活跃和高度合作的数学家，1954年至1960年。他的突然疾病和英年早逝发生在同一年，他搬到西北大学。他的工作拓扑群，几何和分析的杰出贡献，现代数学。在2001年，我们建议通过创建Yamabe纪念研讨会来加强Yamabe纪念讲座，这是明尼苏达大学数学学院两年一次的顶级几何会议。每隔两年，也许在偶数年的秋天，数学家们会聚集在明尼苏达大学度过一个长周末，听取几何讲座，讨论最新的研究成果，并与研究生和初级研究人员互动。在每一个双年度，几何学的一个特定领域将被特别强调，目标之一是，作为对山边秀彦荣誉的一种方式，推进与他的兴趣相关的数学领域，这些兴趣以实质性和开创性的方式触及了几个不同的数学领域，所有这些领域都可以粗略地描述为具有重要的几何学方面。与此同时，它将为研究生和初级研究人员提供一个宝贵的机会，与在国际最高水平工作的数学家进行互动和学习。 第一届、第二届和第三届山边纪念研讨会分别于2002年、2004年和2006年成功举办，会议网址为http://www.math.umn.edu/yamabe/。
