Workshop on Riemannian and Non-Riemannian Geometry; August 2009, Indianapolis, IN

黎曼几何在数学和自然科学的许多领域发挥着重要的作用。近年来的研究还表明，非黎曼几何在数学心理学、广义相对论、偏微分方程、导航问题、成像过程和模块空间等方面都有应用。黎曼几何为研究非黎曼空间提供了一些基本工具。也有专门用于研究非黎曼空间的新方法。本次研讨会将为几何学者提供一个交流和讨论未来研究项目的平台。这次研讨会也将为数学家们提供一个很好的机会来理解非黎曼几何，并找到在这一领域工作的动力。会议网址：https://www.math.iupui.edu/~zshen/conferences/workshop2009/。

AbstractAward: DMS-0943046Principal Investigator: Zhongmin ShenRiemannian geometry plays an important role in many areas ofmathematics and natural science. Recent study also shows thatnon-Riemannian geometry has applications in mathematicalpsychology, general relativity, PDE, navigation problems, imagingprocess, and module spaces, etc. Riemannian geometry providessome basic tools to study non-Riemannian spaces. There are alsonew methods developed exclusively for the investigation ofnon-Riemannian spaces.This workshop will provide a platform for geometers tocommunicate with each other and discuss the research projects forthe future. This workshop will also provide a good opportunityfor mathematicians to understand non-Riemannian geometry and findmotivation to work in this area.
