Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2014

2014年五大湖几何大会将于2014年4月26日至27日在圣母大学举行。尽管一个共同的主题是使用偏微分方程式研究几何和拓扑结构，但会议将以几何学和拓扑学的各种主题为特色。会议将有七位演讲者，他们是不同主题的专家，从利玛奇流和卡勒-爱因斯坦度量，到衡量纽结和辛流形的理论不变量。这次会议将使研究生和早期职业研究人员接触到这些不同领域的新发展。五大湖几何会议每年在大湖区举行，这次会议将是该系列的第13次。偏微分方程在几何和拓扑学中的应用已经产生了许多引人注目的进步，例如解决了Poincare猜想和理解了四维流形的拓扑。这次会议将汇集七位几何和拓扑学领域的知名专家，他们使用与偏微分方程直接或间接相关的技术。我们预计将有大量研究生和初级数学家从中西部大学和其他大学毕业，我们鼓励妇女和其他任职人数不足的群体的成员参加。除了让早期职业数学家了解几何学和拓扑学的最新进展外，我们还希望促进不同领域之间的互动。这次会议的网站是：www.nd.edu/~gszekely/GreatLake

The Great Lakes Geometry Conference 2014 will be held at the University of Notre Dame on April 26-27, 2014. The conference will feature a diverse range of topics in geometry and topology, although a common theme is the study of geometric and topological structures using partial differential equations. The conference will feature seven speakers, who are experts on different topics, ranging from the Ricci flow and Kahler-Einstein metrics, to gauge theoretic invariants of knots and symplectic manifolds. The conference will expose graduate students and early career researchers to new developments in these different areas.The Great Lakes Geometry Conference has been held annually in the Great Lakes region, and this conference will be the 13th in the series. The use of partial differential equations in geometry and topology has produced many spectacular advances, for instance the solution of the Poincare conjecture and understanding the topology of four dimensional manifolds. The conference will draw together seven well-known experts on a diverse range of topics in geometry and topology, who use techniques either directly or indirectly related to partial differential equations. We expect that a large number of graduate students and junior mathematicians will attend from Midwestern universities and beyond, and we encourage the participation of women and members of other under represented groups. In addition to exposing early career mathematicians to recent advances in geometry and topology we hope to foster interactions between different areas.The website for the conference is: www.nd.edu/~gszekely/GreatLakes
