Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2013

2013年五大湖几何会议将于2013年4月20日至21日在西北大学举行。会议的主题将是几何分析。众所周知，微分几何中的许多问题都可以用流形上的微分方程来表示。这些方程不同于传统的欧几里得空间中的微分方程，因为它们通常编码全局的几何信息。要解决这些问题，既需要分析技巧，也需要几何洞察力。本次会议将邀请八位几何分析领域的专家，包括广义相对论、卡勒几何和黎曼几何。他们大部分工作的一个共同主题是对爱因斯坦方程的研究，爱因斯坦方程最初出现在广义相对论中，现在在卡勒几何和黎曼几何中发挥着核心作用。这次会议的一个主要目标是让研究生和初级数学家了解这些研究领域的新发展。大湖几何会议是一个成熟的会议系列，每年在大湖地区举行，这将是它的第12届。会议将以几何分析为主题。这是数学的一个重要领域，对数学和物理的其他领域有很大的影响和应用。几何分析师使用和发展分析和偏微分方程的工具来解决源自几何和物理的问题。今年的会议将汇集八位在几何领域活跃研究领域工作的知名专家。我们希望这次会议能吸引来自西北大学和其他中西部大学的广泛而多样化的参与者，我们鼓励早期职业数学家、女性和未被充分代表的少数民族的参与。这次会议的一个主要目标是让研究生和早期职业数学家了解这个活跃的数学领域的最新发展。会议网址为：http://www.math.northwestern.edu/greatlakes2013

The Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2013 will take place at Northwestern University on April 20-21, 2013. The main theme of the conference will be geometric analysis. It is well-known that many problems in differential geometry can be formulated in terms of differential equations on manifolds. These equations differ from traditional differential equations in Euclidean space in that they usually encode global, geometric information. To solve them, one needs both analytic techniques and geometric insight. This conference will feature eight speakers who are experts in various fields across geometric analysis, including General Relativity, Kahler geometry and Riemannian geometry. A common theme of much of their work is the study of the Einstein equations, which first arose in General Relativity and now play a central role in Kahler and Riemannian geometry. A major goal of this conference is to expose graduate students and junior mathematicians to new developments in these areas of research.The Great Lakes Geometry Conference conference is a well-established conference series that has been annually held in the Great Lakes region, and this will be its 12th edition. The conference will have geometric analysis as its main theme. This is an important field of mathematics with great impact and applications to other areas in mathematics and physics. Geometric analysts use and develop the tools in analysis and partial differential equations to tackle problems which originate from geometry and physics. The conference this year will bring together eight well-known experts working in a number of active research areas in geometry. We expect that the conference will attract a large and diverse spectrum of participants from Northwestern University and other Midwestern universities, and we encourage the participation of early career mathematicians, women and underrepresented minorities. A major goal of this conference is to expose graduate students and early career mathematicians to the recent developments in this active field of mathematics.The conference website is: http://www.math.northwestern.edu/greatlakes2013
