Synopsis:
There are only a few mathematicians in the history whose works and
questions are still intensively studied after 150 years by many people in
the original form and are continuing to provide inspiration to generations to
come. Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) is one such mathematician.
According to Narasimhan in a preface to Riemann's Collected Works,
``Great mathematicians change the way their successors look at certain
parts of mathematics. It is rare, however, that a hundred years after a
man's work, his ideas and methods are learnt and used by people in the
field in essentially the same form in which he left them. Riemann's
mathematics has this quality of permanence to an astonishing degree. His
work has been analyzed, amplified and generalized in many ways in many
fields, but a good part of his mathematical output has withstood the test of
time and the search for new perspectives remarkably well. This is not to
imply that new perspectives have not been found but simply that in many
instances, Riemann's own approach has not been superseded definitely."
Each generation of mathematicians need to read Riemann and to
understand and interpret his work. To help the mathematics community to
understand better the work of Riemann and its impact, Prof. S.T. Yau and
several of us are launching one book project with the title: The legacy of
Bernhard Riemann after one hundred and fifty years. It will consist of
systematic contributions by leading experts around the world on subjects
or topics influenced by Riemann.

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.
