INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SPECTRAL GEOMETRY: First Announcement

Dartmouth College; Hanover NH

  July 19--23, 2010

and

PRE-CONFERENCE MINICOURSES July 16--17


The primary themes of the conference will be:

* Inverse spectral geometry on compact manifolds and orbifolds

* Quantum unique ergodicity

There will be two plenary lectures on each of these themes presented by Victor  
Guillemin and Peter Sarnak, respectively.

In addition to spectral problems on Riemannian manifolds, there will be a secondary  
focus on the related topic of quantum graphs, in which the one-dimensional Laplacian  
acts along edges, and waves scatter at vertices.

Lectures will typically be held in the mornings and late afternoons with a substantial  
period set aside for informal discussions each afternoon.   We will also hold  
a poster session.

Pending NSF approval, we anticipate that we will be able to provide travel support  
for some participants, with preference going to graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s.  
   More senior mathematicians without other sources of support are also eligible  
to apply.   The target date to apply for support is April 15; later applications  
will be considered as long as funds remain available.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
