Fiftieth Anniversary YAMABE MEMORIAL SYMPOSIUM

奖项：DMS-1219789首席研究员：阿尔伯特·马登、阿纳尔·艾哈迈多夫、田军·李2012年雅马贝纪念研讨会将于2012年10月5日至7日星期五至星期日中午在明尼苏达大学明尼阿波利斯校区数学学院举行。今年是山部计划五十周年。每一个两年期，数学学院的几何小组都会为专题讨论会确定一个主题。今年的主题是几何分析。主要讲者包括曹怀东、利哈伊大学Jean-Pierre Demailly、Grioble、法国Benson Farb、芝加哥大学Robert Hardt、莱斯大学Misha Kapovich、加州大学戴维斯·柯南、香港中文大学Natasa Sesum、罗格斯大学Ben Weinkove、加州大学圣地亚哥分校。作为演讲的重要补充，与会者将有相当多的机会与演讲者和彼此进行讨论。今天的数学家们广泛利用互联网来探索以前的工作，特别是与合作者快速轻松地交流。然而，尽管存在对互联网的依赖，事实上正因为如此，出席研讨会和会议在一位多产的数学家的生活中是经常发生的。它有助于与时俱进地了解正在发生的事情、正在取得的新发现以及正在探索的新途径的“大图景”。它有助于巩固合作、友谊和建立新的数学联系。私下讨论往往会激发新的想法、新的道路和新的合作，但人与人之间的接触在数学家中就像在整个人类活动中一样重要。国家科学基金会是此类研讨会和会议的主要资助者，这些研讨会和会议涵盖了数学界的广泛领域。Yamabe研讨会的详细信息请访问www.math.umn.edu/yamabe。

AbstractAward: DMS-1219789Principal Investigator: Albert Marden, Anar Ahmadov, Tian-Jun LiThe 2012 Yamabe Memorial Symposium will be held from Friday through Sunday noon, October 5-7, 2012, at the School of Mathematics, on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the Yamabe program. Each biennium, the geometry group of the School of Mathematics decides on a theme for the Symposium. The theme for this year is Geometric Analysis. The principal speakers will be Huaidong Cao, Lehigh University Jean-Pierre Demailly, Grenoble, France Benson Farb, University of Chicago Robert Hardt, Rice University Misha Kapovich, University of California, Davis Conan Leung, Chinese University of Hong Kong Natasa Sesum, Rutgers University Ben Weinkove, University of California, San Diego Together they represent a wide spectrum of the topic. As an essential complement to the talks, the participants will have considerable opportunity to have discussions with the speakers and with each other.Mathematicians today make extensive use of the internet to explore previous work, and especially to communicate quickly and easily with collaborators. Yet in spite of this internet dependence, in fact because of it, attendance at symposia and conferences is a regular occurrence in the life of a productive mathematician. It helps in keeping abreast of the "larger picture" of what is going on, what new discoveries are being made, and what new avenues are being explored. It helps to cement collaborations, friendships, and establish new mathematical contacts. Private discussions often inspire new ideas, new roads to follow, and new collaborations, Human to human contact is as essential among mathematicians as it is in human activity at large. The National Science Foundation is the principal funder of such symposia and conferences which encompass the great breadth of the mathematical community.Details of the Yamabe Symposium are at www.math.umn.edu/yamabe.
