Workshop on Global Riemannian Geometry

摘要奖：DMS-0813659首席研究员：Frederick Wilhelm该奖项为美国参加2008年5月在墨西哥国家自治大学(IMATE-UNAM Cuernavaca)举行的全球黎曼几何研讨会提供部分支持。会议将包括由DetlefGromoll、Gerard Walschap和Karsten Grove讲授的两个迷你课程，以及大约18个研究讲座。在会议之前，将增加一个回顾黎曼几何的迷你课程，为参加研讨会的学生做准备。会议的目的是在初级参与者中传播黎曼几何的最新进展知识，促进女性和少数族裔研究人员参与这一主题，加强黎曼几何在墨西哥的存在，并鼓励墨西哥、其他拉丁美洲国家、美国、加拿大和欧洲的几何研究人员之间的合作。该讲习班得到了克莱恩数学研究所、CIMAT、国际数学联合会、国际数学联合会、IMATE-UNAM以及国家科学基金会的支持。会议的网址是http://www.matcuer.unam.mx/e/dg/.。

AbstractAward: DMS-0813659Principal Investigator: Frederick WilhelmThis award provides partial support for US participation in aWorkshop in Global Riemannian Geometry to be held at theInstituto de Matematicas (Unidad Cuernavaca) Universidad NacionalAutonoma de Mexico (IMATE-UNAM Cuernavaca) in May 2008. Themeeting will consist of two mini-courses taught by DetlefGromoll, Gerard Walschap, and Karsten Grove, plus approximatelyeighteen research talks. The conference will be preceded by anadditional mini-course reviewing basic Riemannian geometry toprepare student participants for the workshop.The conference aims to disseminate knowledge of recent progressin Riemannian geometry among junior participants, to promote theinvolvement of female and minority researchers in the subject, tostrengthen the presence of Riemannian geometry in Mexico, and toencourage collaborations between geometric researchers in Mexico,other countries of Latin America, the United States, Canada, andEurope. The workshop is receiving support from the ClayMathematical Institute, CIMAT, CONACYT, the InternationalMathematics Union, and the IMATE-UNAM, as well as NSF.
