International Conference on Riemann-Finsler Geometry

1854年，B.Riemann提出了具有一族内积(黎曼度量)的空间的曲率的概念。1918年，P.Finsler研究了赋范空间(Finsler度量)的变分问题。最近，世界各地的数学家在Riemann-Finsler几何方面取得了重大进展。尤其是。Riemann-Finsler几何在数学心理学、广义相对论、偏微分方程、导航问题、成像处理、模空间等领域都有应用。这次会议将为数学家们提供一个相互交流的平台，并讨论未来的研究计划。同时，这次会议也将为美国的数学家们提供一个了解Riemann-Finsler几何和寻找在这一领域工作的动力的机会。

AbstractIn 1854, B. Riemann introduced the notion of curvature for spaces with a family of inner products (Riemannian metrics). In 1918, P. Finsler studied the variation problem for spaces with a family of norms (Finsler metrics).Recently significant progress in Riemann-Finsler geometry has been made by mathematicians around the world. In particular. many non-trivial examples of Finsler metrics of scalar (or constant) flag curvature have been constructed and several local classification theorems have been obtained.Riemann-Finsler geometry also has applications in other areas such as mathematical psychology, general relativity, PDE, navigation problems, imaging process, and module spaces, etc.This conference will provide a platform for mathematicians to communicate with each other and discuss the research projects for the future.Meanwhile, this conference will provide a great opportunity for mathematicians in USA to understand Riemann-Finsler geometry and find motivation to work in this area.
