Many of you may recall that the 35th Annual Geometry Festival, hosted by the Department of Mathematics at Stony Brook University, was deferred last year
due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference has now been rescheduled and restructured as a web-based virtual event,
to be held the weekend of April 23-25, 2021.
The scientific program will consist of eight one-hour plenary talks, delivered by the same speakers we invited last year:
Simon Donaldson (Simons Center, Stony Brook, and Imperial College, London)
Jean-Pierre Demailly (Institut Fourier, Grenoble)
Akito Futaki (Yau Center, Tsinghua University)
Tristan Collins (MIT)
Jim Isenberg (University of Oregon)
Melissa C.-C. Liu (Columbia University)
Bing Wang (USTC)
Joel Spruck (Johns Hopkins University)
We hope that a large sector of the geometry community will choose to participate in this event.
While the conference will be free of charge, participants will however need to register in advance in
order to watch the talks in real time, ask questions, and actively participate in other ways. Further details concerning
the lecture schedule and the registration procedure will be posted on the conference web-site
which will be made publicly available well in advance of the conference.
