Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

该奖项将为2013-2015年在波特兰州立大学、斯坦福大学、俄勒冈大学尤金分校和华盛顿大学西雅图分校举行的太平洋西北几何研讨会（PNGS）提供部分支持。第一次会议将于2013年5月11日至12日在波特兰州立大学举行。邀请微分几何、几何分析、辛几何和接触几何领域的主要专家进行研究演讲，并辅以讨论环节，演讲者和参与者评估几何各个领域的状态，并强调这些领域的开放性问题。在太平洋西北几何研讨会上，有许多非常活跃的几何学研究人员散布在各个大学。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，让他们看到更广阔的几何研究图景。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，这些会议也非常有价值，例如太平洋大学、刘易斯和克拉克大学、西雅图大学和爱达荷州大学。更多信息可在会议网站www.math.washington.edu/~lee/PNGS上找到

This award provides partial support for meetings of the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) to be held during 2013-2015 at Portland State University, Stanford University, the University of Oregon Eugene, and the University of Washington Seattle. The first meeting is on May 11-12, 2013 at Portland State University. Invited research talks by leading experts in differential geometry, geometric analysis, symplectic and contact geometry are complemented by discussion sessions in which the speakers and participants assess the state of various areas in geometry, and highlight open problems in these areas. There are a number of very active researchers in geometry scattered throughout the various universities which are involved in the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar. These periodic meetings bring these researchers together for consultation, collaboration, and stimulation of new ideas. A significant number of research programs have been initiated as a result of interactions at these meetings. The PNGS is especially valuable for graduate students in geometry at the various participating universities which have small geometry groups. The PNGS meetings give these students an excellent opportunity to see the broader picture of research in geometry. The meetings are also very valuable for the growing number of geometers working at some of the smaller universities in the region, such as Pacific University, Lewis and Clark, Seattle University, and Idaho State.
