sponsoring a
thematic program on
Geometry: Interactions with
Algebra
and Analysis
The program will be based at The
University of Auckland and will run January-June, 2005.
- Program themes
- The program will focus on geometrical themes
including (1) Discrete groups; (2) Algebraic groups;
(3) Geometric group theory; (4) Low-dimensional topology and hyperbolic
geometry; (5) Geometric function theory; (6) Analysis and PDEs.
- Programme committee
The directors of the
program are:
-
The other members of the program committee are:
- Principal international participants
-
The visit by John Conway is funded by the University
of Auckland Foundation and the Department of Mathematics of the
