Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

建议美国国家科学基金会为太平洋西北几何研讨会（PNGS）提供资金，该研讨会将于2006年7月1日至2009年6月30日在不列颠哥伦比亚省大学、俄勒冈州州立大学、俄勒冈州大学、犹他州大学、华盛顿大学、波特兰州立大学和斯坦福大学举行，为期三年。 PNGS会议通常有4至6个邀请微分几何和代数几何领域的主要专家进行的研究讲座。会议还包括讨论会，其中发言者和与会者评估几何的各个领域的状态，并突出这些领域的开放问题。有一些非常活跃的几何研究人员分散在参与太平洋西北几何研讨会的各个大学。这些定期会议将这些研究人员聚集在一起进行磋商，合作和激发新的想法。由于在这些会议上的互动，启动了大量的研究方案。 该PNGS是特别有价值的几何研究生在各参与大学有小几何组。该PNGS会议给这些学生一个很好的机会，看到更广泛的图片研究几何。这些会议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也非常有价值，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州立大学。更多信息可以在会议网站上找到atwww.math.washington.edu/~lee/PNGS

It is proposed that the National Science Foundation provide funding for the meetings of the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) to be held during the three-year period from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2009 at University of British Columbia, Oregon State University, University of Oregon, University of Utah, University of Washington, Portland State University, and Stanford University. PNGS meetings generally feature 4 to 6 invited research talks by leading experts in differential geometry and algebraic geometry. The meetings also include 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.
