Biology, Analysis, Geometry, Energies, Links: A Program on Low-dimensional Topology, Geometry, and Applications

Date: Monday June 17, 2019 to Friday, June 28, 2019

This is the second announcement for a two week program on Low-dimensional topology, geometry, and applications to be held at the IMA (Minnesota) in June 2019.  For full consideration, please apply by March 31, 2019 at the IMA website https://www.ima.umn.edu/2018-2019/SW6.17-28.19.

In the first week (June 17 through 22), we will run a summer school targeted at (but not restricted to) PhD students and postdocs. There will be four courses given by

• Jun O'Hara (Chiba, harmonic analysis)
• Peter Schröder (Caltech, discrete differential geometry)
• Jennifer Schultens (UC Davis, 3-manifolds)
• Gert van der Heijden (UC London, nonlinear mechanics)

as well as a special lecture by Ken Millett (UCSB, microbiology).

In the second week (June 24 through 28) there will be a workshop providing a platform to present the most recent developments in the fields presented at the summer school. The speakers include

• Soeren Bartels (Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freibug)
• Jason Cantarella (University of Georgia)
• Myfanwy Evans (TU Berlin)
• Candice Price (University of San Diego)
• Renzo Ricca (Universita di Milano-Bicocca)
• Radmila Sazdanović (North Carolina State University)
• Marta Szumanska (University of Warsaw)
• Heiko von der Mosel (RWTH Aachen University)
• Max Wardetzky (University of Goettingen)
• Helen Wong (Claremont McKenna College)

Please register at the IMA website https://www.ima.umn.edu/2018-2019/SW6.17-28.19.  Limited travel support for young participants may be available.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!
