The Sixth Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium

第六届Ahlfors-Bers学术讨论会将于2014年10月23日至26日在耶鲁大学举行。这是最新的一个三年一次的会议序列集中在分析方面，几何，和偏微分方程最初由拉尔斯Ahlfors和利普曼Bers探索，并导致一个强大的现代理论与分支和连接到许多其他领域，包括动力学，拓扑学，数学物理和数论。该领域的特点是今天的分析方法之间的相互作用，使用经典微积分及其推广的工具，组合思想，其中建立和研究图形模式，以及拓扑学，其中一个研究灵活的空间及其变形。最近解决了一些指导性问题，并相应采用了新方法，这使会议充满活力，具有前瞻性。组织者计划吸引和支持早期职业数学家和代表性不足的少数民族，并希望由此产生的互动和新的联系将在会议结束后很长一段时间内产生反响。10位全体演讲者将讨论最近在有理映射动力学，区间交换动力学，Teichmuller理论，调和分析，自同构群的结构，双曲几何，概率和Schramm-Loewner演化，等人将在这些地区广泛举行附带发言的平行会议，会议组织者预计约有50名发言者。会议的网址是https://sites.google.com/site/ahlforsberscolloquium/。

The Sixth Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium will take place at Yale University on October 23-26, 2014. It is the latest of a triennial sequence of meetings focusing on the aspects of analysis, geometry, and partial differential equations originally explored by Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers and leading to a robust modern theory with ramifications and connections to many other fields, including dynamics, topology, mathematical physics and number theory. The field is characterized today by an interaction between analytic methods, using the tools of classical calculus and its generalizations, combinatorial ideas in which diagrammatic patterns are built and studied, and topology in which one studies flexible spaces and their deformations. The recent solution of a number of guiding problems and the corresponding introduction of new methods promise that the conference will be vibrant and forward looking. The organizers plan to attract and support early-career mathematicians and under-represented minorities, and hope that the resulting interactions and new connections will reverberate long after the conference is over.Ten plenary speakers will discuss recent results in dynamics of rational maps, dynamics of interval exchanges, Teichmuller theory, harmonic analysis, the structure of automorphism groups, hyperbolic geometry, probability and Schramm-Loewner evolution, and others. Parallel sessions with contributed talks will be held broadly in these areas, where the conference organizers anticipate about 50 speakers.
