Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

获奖：dms -0852734首席研究员：James A. Isenberg, Boris I. botvinnik2009 -2012年在不列颠哥伦比亚大学、俄勒冈州立大学、俄勒冈大学、犹他大学、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（pacific - northwest Geometry Seminar， PNGS）提供部分支持。邀请微分几何和代数几何领域的顶尖专家进行研究演讲，并辅以讨论环节，演讲者和参与者评估几何各个领域的现状，并强调这些领域的开放性问题。有一些非常活跃的研究人员在几何分散在各个大学参与太平洋西北几何研讨会。这些定期会议将这些研究人员聚集在一起进行咨询、合作和激发新想法。由于在这些会议上的互动，已经启动了大量的研究项目。PNGS对在各参与大学的几何研究生特别有价值，因为这些大学有小的几何小组。PNGS会议为这些学生提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们看到几何研究的更广阔的图景。这些会议对于在该地区一些较小的大学工作的越来越多的几何学家来说也非常有价值，比如太平洋大学、刘易斯和克拉克大学、西雅图大学和爱达荷州立大学。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.
