Smoky Great Plains Geometry Conference

“大平原烟雾几何会议”将于2014年3月17日至20日在威奇托州立大学举行。会议将以几何和几何分析的重要领域为特色，主要研究人员将作为演讲者。将有13场全体讲座，讲座之间有充足的时间鼓励讨论和交换意见。这笔资金将帮助包括研究生和博士后在内的早期职业数学家。将特别注意查明和支持妇女和代表性不足群体的其他成员。组织者承诺，会议上至少50%的演讲者将是女性。会议的重点是最广泛意义上的度量几何以及全局度量几何与拓扑之间的关系，包括黎曼和半黎曼几何方法以及亚历山德罗夫几何和其他奇异几何空间。代表的关键领域将是度量几何，几何流，洛伦兹几何，爱因斯坦度量，里奇孤子和数学广义相对论。这些领域之间的重叠使得参与者之间的交叉合作成为可能。会议的网页可在http://www.math.wichita.edu/SGPGeometryConference/找到

The "Smoky Great Plains Geometry Conference" will be held at Wichita State University on March 17-20, 2014. The conference will feature important areas of geometry and geometric analysis with leading researchers as speakers. There will be 13 plenary lectures with plenty of time between talks to encourage discussion and the interchange of ideas. The funding will help to involve early-career mathematicians, including graduate students and postdocs. Particular attention will be paid to identifying and supporting women and other members of underrepresented groups. The organizers have pledged that at least 50% of the speakers at the conference will be female. The focus of the conference is on metric geometry in the broadest possible sense and the relationship between global metric geometry and topology, including methods of Riemannian and Semi-Riemannian geometry as well as Alexandrov geometry and other singular geometric spaces. Key areas represented will be Metric geometry, Geometric flows, Lorentzian Geometry, Einstein Metrics, Ricci solitons and Mathematical General Relativity. The overlap between these areas makes very real the possibility for cross-collaboration among the participants.
