Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2011

最近，人们目睹了几何学和拓扑学这两个数学核心领域的研究取得了巨大的发展。特别是，在几何分析、黎曼几何、拓扑场论和Gromov-Witten理论等重要问题上取得了重大进展。2011年五大湖几何会议将在俄亥俄州立大学举行，将汇集拓扑场论、格罗莫夫-威腾理论和几何分析相关领域的专家，讨论令人兴奋的最新发展，并提供一个共同点，数学家们为了进一步理解这些主题的目标而分享想法和愿景。五大湖几何会议(GLGC)是在大湖区举行的一个成熟的几何和拓扑学会议。2011年大会是其12周年纪念，将在哥伦布市的俄亥俄州立大学举行。GLGC 2011的两个主题是Gromov-Witten理论和几何分析。在这次会议上，PI吸引了来自几何学和数学物理领域不同活跃研究领域的演讲者。聚集主要主题各个方面的专家将为数学家分享想法和愿景提供共同点，并将鼓励这些领域的研究人员之间的合作。这次会议的一个重要目标是让相关领域的研究生和早期职业数学家接触到这一活跃的几何和物理领域的一些令人兴奋的新发展。这次会议将使俄亥俄州立大学和其他中西部大学的学生和早期职业数学家受益，鼓励中西部地区和其他地区的大学之间的互动，并帮助研究生和博士后在这些令人兴奋的领域工作。会议网站：http://www.math.osu.edu/hhtseng/glgc11 Main.html

Recently one has witnessed tremendous developments in research in geometry and topology, which are two central areas in mathematics. In particular, major progresses have been made in important questions in subjects such as geometric analysis, Riemannian geometry, topological field theory, and Gromov-Witten theory. The Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2011, to be held in Ohio State University, will bring together experts who work in the areas related to topological field theory, Gromov- Witten theory, and geometric analysis to discuss exciting recent developments and to provide a common ground where mathematicians share ideas and visions towards the goal of further our understanding of these subjects.The Great Lakes Geometry Conference (GLGC) is a well-established conference of geometry and topology held in the Great Lakes region. The year 2011 conference is its 12-th anniversary and will be held in the Ohio State University in Columbus. The two main themes of the GLGC 2011 are Gromov-Witten theory and geometric analysis. In this conference, the PIs draw the speakers from a diverse spectrum of active research areas in geometry and mathematical physics. Gathering the experts of various aspects of the main themes will provide a common ground where mathematicians share ideas and visions and will encourage collaborations between researchers in the areas. An important goal of this conference is to expose graduate students and early career mathematicians in the related fields to some recent exciting new developments in this active area of geometry and physics. The conference will benefot the students and the early career mathematicians at the Ohio State University and other Midwestern universities, encourage interaction between the universities in the Midwestern region and beyond, and help graduate students and post-docs to work in these exciting areas.Conference website: http://www.math.osu.edu/hhtseng/glgc11 main.html
