Conference on Geometric Analysis and Relativity, July 6-10, 2014

为支持一些美国科学家参加将于7月6日至10日在合肥举行的题为“几何分析与相对论”的会议，请提供旅费。这次会议将由中国科技大学主办并提供部分支持，会议的目的是将一些在广义相对论和宇宙学的数学方面研究的世界领先企业聚集在一起，并让他们与几何分析领域的领先专家讨论这些领域的最新发展和研究新方向。这次会议的一个关键目标是让中国中有前途的年轻数学家接触到数学相对论的令人兴奋的研究进展。数学相对论与黑洞分析和新宇宙学模型研究的密切联系，以及它在分析和解释激光干涉引力天文台和其他引力波探测设备收集的数据方面的潜在重要性，有力地推动了数学相对论最近的许多进展。几何分析长期以来一直是广义相对论数学的一个关键组成部分，几何分析的最新发展--特别是与几何流动有关的发展--预计将继续激发数学相对论的新思想和新的分析方法。尤其值得注意的是几何流动在彭罗斯不等式研究中所扮演的角色，彭罗斯不等式将感知质量和黑洞的有效“面积”联系在一起。会议组织者希望并期望，让新的研究人员接触到数学相对论和几何分析相结合的令人兴奋的想法的相互作用，将促进这些密切相关领域的进一步发展。更多信息可在会议websitehttp://math.ustc.edu.cn/Conference/2014gar/guide.html上找到

Travel funds are requested to support the participation of a number of U.S. scientists in a conference entitled "Geometric Analysis and Relativity", to be held July 6-10 in Hefei, China. The aim of the conference, which will be hosted and partially supported by the University of Science and Technology of China, is to bring together a number of the world's leaders in research on the mathematical aspects of general relativity and cosmology, and to have them discuss recent developments and new directions of research in these areas with leading experts in geometric analysis. A key goal of the conference is to expose promising young mathematicians in China to the exciting research developments in mathematical relativity. Many of the recent advances in mathematical relativity have been strongly stimulated by its close ties to the analysis of black holes and the study of new cosmological models, and by its potential importance in analyzing and interpreting data collected by the Laser Interferometric Gravitational Observatory along with other gravitational wave detection devices. Geometric analysis has long been a key component of the mathematics of general relativity, and the recent developments in geometric analysis - especially those related to geometric flows - are expected to continue to stimulate new ideas and new analytical approaches in mathematical relativity. Especially note-worthy is the role that geometric flows have played in the study of the Penrose inequality, which relates perceived masses and the effective "areas" of black holes. The conference organizers hope and expect that exposing new researchers to the interaction of exciting ideas in the confluence of mathematical relativity and geometric analysis will stimulate further advances in these closely allied areas.More information can be found on the conference websitehttp://math.ustc.edu.cn/Conference/2014gar/guide.html
