CONFERENCE:

"NEW METHODS IN FINSLER GEOMETRY"

www.math.uni-leipzig.de/Finsler2016

DATE: July, 5 -- July, 9, 2016 (arrival July, 4, departure July, 10)

LOCATION: Department of Mathematics, Leipzig University

TOPICS:
In the last decade a number of problems in Finsler geometry
were solved by mathematicians, who do not consider Finsler geometry
as their main field of expertise. These scientists usually work in
Riemannian geometry, dynamical systems or in metric or convex geometry.
We want to bring together these mathematicians with specialists
in Finsler geometry to enable new cooperations.

ORGANIZERS:
Vladimir Matveev (Jena), Hans-Bert Rademacher (Leipzig)

- Alberto Abbondandolo (Ruhr-Univ. Bochum)
- Juan Carlos Alvarez (Univ. Lille, France)
- David Bao (San Francisco State University, USA)
- Victor Bangert (Univ. Freiburg)
- Beroz Bidabad (Amirkabir University, Teheran, Iran)
- Robert Bryant (Duke University, USA) (to be confirmed)
- Patrick Foulon (CIRM Luminy)

- Henrique Vitorio (Univ. Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil)
- Cormac Walsh (Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France)
- Kai Zehmisch (Univ. Muenster)

whether you need it. 

7ECM:
The conference is a Satellite Event of the
7th European Congress of Mathematics, July 18-July 22, Berlin 2016

There will be no proceedings of the conference, but 
European Journal of Mathematics (Springer)   plans to have a special issue
on Finsler Geometry with submission deadline in December 2016. 

The conference is supported  by DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)
and Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to almost 1500 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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]
