Conference: General Relativity and Shock Wave Theory

该奖项为2006年4月29日至5月1日在斯坦福大学举行的广义相对论和冲击波理论会议的与会者提供旅行支持。 会议的主要主题是在微分几何和流体力学之间的接口数学广义相对论的研究。 大量资金被分配用于支持学生，博士后研究员和初级教师的参与。这次会议提供了一个机会，在数学的重要相关领域之间的接口工作的领先专家和初级研究人员之间的互动。 会议将为博士后和学生提供一个宝贵的机会，以扩大他们的理解，并了解这些领域的开放问题。

This award furnishes travel support for participants in the Conference on General Relativity and Shock Wave Theory, held April 29 to May 1, 2006 at Stanford University. The primary theme of the conference is research in mathematical general relativity at the interface between differential geometry and fluid mechanics. Significant funding is allocated to support participation of students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. This meeting provides an opportunity for interaction among leading experts and junior researchers working at the interface between important related areas of mathematics. The conference will provide a valuable opportunity for postdocs and students to broaden their understanding and to learn about open problems in these areas.
