Workshop: Geometry and Topology of Quotients, December 5-8, 2002, Tucson, Arizona

dms - 0217057 p。Foth， P. Bressler， Y. Hu和J. luj .这个奖项为积极从事研究的数学家提供部分支持，支持他们参加2002年12月在亚利桑那大学举行的“商的几何和拓扑”研讨会。主要演讲嘉宾为Igor Dolgachev （Michigan）、Mikhail Kapranov (Toronto)*、Janos Kollar (Princeton)*、Robert MacPherson (IAS和Princeton)*、Jun Li （Stanford）、Reyer Sjamaar （Cornell）、（* -待定）。全体讲座将概述几何不变理论和辛约化的最新进展和当前研究方向，解释与其他学科的联系及其在物理学中的应用。除主讲外，还将举行专题讲座和圆桌讨论。研讨会将为年轻研究人员提供一个论坛，让他们与领先的专家会面并互动，同时也为跨越传统学科界限的互动提供机会。鼓励妇女和少数民族研究人员参与。更多信息可以参考:http://www.math.arizona.edu/ ~ foth / gtq.html ------------------------------------------------------------

DMS-0217057P. Foth, P. Bressler, Y. Hu, and J. LuThis award provides partial support for active research mathematicians with limited means of support to attend and participate in theWorkshop on "Geometry and Topology of Quotients" to be held at the University of Arizona in December of 2002. The main speakers are Igor Dolgachev (Michigan), Mikhail Kapranov (Toronto)*, Janos Kollar (Princeton)*, Robert MacPherson (IAS and Princeton)*,Jun Li (Stanford), Reyer Sjamaar (Cornell), (* - to be confirmed). The plenary lectures will survey recent progress and current directions ofresearch in Geometric Invariant theory and Symplectic Reductions,explain connections with other disciplines and applications to physics. In addition to principal lectures, there will be sessions of contributedtalks and round-table discussions. The workshop will provide a forum for young researchers to meet and interact with leading specialists as wellas for interactions across the traditional boundaries ofdisciplines. Women and minority researchers are encouraged to participate. Further information is available at http://www.math.arizona.edu/~foth/gtq.html------------------------------------------------------------
