Fields Institute Workshop
on
Topological Methods in Algebra, Analysis and Dynamical Systems |
|
Organizing
Committee: Nikolay Brodskiy (U. of Tennessee, Knoxville), John
C. Mayer (U. of Alabama, Birmingham), Vladimir Pestov (U. of
Ottawa), Alexandre Karasev, Murat Tuncali, and Vesko Valov
(Nipissing U.)
This workshop is the 6th
in the sequence of annual workshops traditionally held in the month
of May at Nipissing University. Among our speakers, we expect to
have a number of prominent mathematicians from Canada, USA and
abroad. The main theme of the workshops will be in the areas where
Topology, Algebra, Analysis and Dynamical Systems intersect. The
workshop will be for five days. There will be three one-hour talks
each day. However, the format of the workshops is designed to
maximize the interaction among the participants beyond the lectures.
Travel support funding for students
and postdoctoral fellows is provided by the
Fields Institute and
by the
National
Science Foundation. |
