1999 Summer Workshop in Harmonic Analysis

This will take place in Raglan, New Zealand, during the period 2 January 1999 to 10 January 1999.
The aim of our workshop is to introduce participants to current research and methods of the Spectral Theory of Nonselfadjoint Operators and Resonance Scattering Theory for Periodic Differential Operators, which incorporate both Harmonic Analysis and Topology on Riemann surfaces with the Geometry of the  corresponding Hilbert Spaces. We also plan to cover some
interesting  applications of Spectral and Scattering Theory. The workshop will feature several main series of lectures by prominent  analysts. There will also be scheduled lectures by other participants, organized to some extent into minisymposia. It is hoped to make provision for impromptu presentations on work, as it develops, arising from discussions amongst people taking part in the workshop. 

Venue

This time the school will be in Raglan, a small resort on the west coast of the North Island, about 160km from Auckland.
The venue will be the campus of the local school in Raglan, which will provide two lecture rooms (and sporting facilities).
The weather in New Zealand during early January is usually stable and mild. 

Workshop format

There will be two lecture sessions per day 9.30-12.30 and 5-9 (with a dinner break).  It is planned to take Wednesday  off
(details of available activities are not yet available). It is anticipated that participants will want to spend part of this week working amongst themselves and the organizers will do all they can to facilitate this. It is expected that there might be a need to arrange times for informal and impromptu presentations; times for this will be scheduled into the program as the details become known.
