COLLABORATIVE: Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar

该基金将支持太平洋西北几何研讨会（PNGS）的会议，该研讨会将于2019年春季开始在英属哥伦比亚大学、华盛顿大学、俄勒冈大学、俄勒冈州立大学、波特兰州立大学和刘易斯克拉克学院举行。PNGS会议通常邀请微分几何和几何分析方面的主要专家进行六次研究演讲。会议还包括讨论环节，演讲者和与会者在其中评估几何各个领域的状况，并强调这些领域的开放性问题。在太平洋西北几何研讨会上，有许多非常活跃的几何研究人员分散在各个学院和大学。PNGS会议将把这些研究人员聚集在一起进行咨询、合作和激发新想法。由于在过去的会议上的互动，已经启动了大量的研究项目。PNGS系列对参与大学的几何研究生特别有价值，因为这些大学有较小的几何小组。PNGS会议为这些学生提供了一个很好的机会，让他们看到几何研究的更广阔的图景。这些会议对于在该地区一些较小的大学（如太平洋大学、西雅图大学和爱达荷州立大学）工作的越来越多的几何学家来说也非常有价值。更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：www.math.washington.edu/~lee/PNGSThis该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This grant will support meetings of the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) to be held at the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, and Lewis & Clark College, beginning in Spring 2019. PNGS meetings generally feature six invited research talks by leading experts in differential geometry and geometrical analysis. The meetings also include discussion sessions in which the speakers and participants assess the state of various areas in geometry and highlight open problems in these areas.There are a number of very active researchers in geometry scattered throughout the various colleges and universities involved in the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar. PNGS meetings will bring these researchers together for consultation, collaboration, and stimulation of new ideas. A significant number of research programs have been initiated as a result of interactions at past meetings. The PNGS series is especially valuable for graduate students in geometry at the participating universities which have small geometry groups. PNGS meetings give these students an excellent opportunity to see the broader picture of research in geometry. The meetings are also very valuable for the growing number of geometers working at some of the smaller universities in the region, such as Pacific University, Seattle University, and Idaho State University.
