Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

摘要奖：DMS-0852734主要研究者：James A.鲍里斯？伊森伯格Botvinnik该奖项为2009- 2012年期间在不列颠哥伦比亚省大学、俄勒冈州州立大学、俄勒冈州大学、犹他州大学、华盛顿大学、波特兰州立大学和斯坦福大学举行的太平洋西北几何研讨会（PNGS）提供部分支持。微分几何和代数几何领域顶尖专家的特邀研究讲座辅以讨论会，演讲者和参与者在讨论会上评估几何各个领域的现状，并强调这些领域的开放问题。有许多非常活跃的几何研究人员分散在参与太平洋西北几何研讨会的各个大学。这些研讨会将这些研究人员聚集在一起进行磋商，合作和激发新的想法。由于这些会议上的互动，已经启动了大量的研究项目。该PNGS是特别valuablefor研究生在几何在各个participatinguniversities有小的几何组。PNGS会议为这些学生提供了一个极好的机会，可以看到更广泛的几何研究。这些会议对在该地区一些较小的大学工作的越来越多的几何学家也很有价值，这些大学包括太平洋大学、刘易斯和克拉克大学、西雅图大学和莎士比亚州立大学。更多信息可在会议网站www.math.washington.edu/~lee/PNGS上找到

AbstractAward: DMS-0852734Principal Investigator: James A. Isenberg, Boris I. BotvinnikThis award provides partial support for meetings of the PacificNorthwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) to be held during 2009--2012 atthe University of British Columbia, Oregon State University,University of Oregon, University of Utah, University ofWashington, Portland State University, and StanfordUniversity. Invited research talks by leading experts indifferential geometry and algebraic geometry are complemented bydiscussion sessions in which the speakers and participants assessthe state of various areas in geometry, and highlight openproblems in these areas.There are a number of very active researchers in geometryscattered throughout the various universities which are involvedin the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar. These periodicmeetings bring these researchers together for consultation,collaboration, and stimulation of new ideas. A significant numberof research programs have been initiated as a result ofinteractions at these meetings. The PNGS is especially valuablefor graduate students in geometry at the various participatinguniversities which have small geometry groups. The PNGS meetingsgive these students an excellent opportunity to see the broaderpicture of research in geometry. The meetings are also veryvaluable for the growing number of geometers working at some ofthe smaller universities in the region, such as PacificUniversity, Lewis and Clark, Seattle University, and IdahoState.
