The Workshop
The
William Rowan Hamilton
Geometry
and Topology Workshop is an annual directed workshop held at the
Hamilton Mathematics Institute (HMI), Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The workshop consists of a two-day
mini-course followed by a three-day lecture series.
Mini-Course
There will
be a two-day mini-course held on
August 26-27 at the HMI. The minicourse
will be given by Jacob Rasmussen (Cambridge)
and Liam Watson (Glasgow) on Floer homology and
low-dimensional topology. The
minicourse is aimed
at
junior
researchers. Participants interested in
attending the mini-course should
register online for funding to attend both the mini-course and lecture
series.
The
Lecture
Series
There will be a three-day lecture series held on August 28-30
at the
HMI. The lecture series will consist of lectures and discussion
sessions on
the topic of Homological invariants
in low-dimensional topology and geometry to
discuss recent advances in the
field
and propose future directions of study.
Goals
The goal of the William Rowan Hamilton
Geometry and Topology
Workshop is to provide a forum in which the international
geometry and topology community can meet annually with its European
counterpart to discuss topics of an interdisciplinary nature. A major
anticipated outcome of these annual workshops is the determination of
future research directions, and the generation of a list of open
problems in the topics of focus. The workshop has a permanent
website at http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~hmi/events/gt/gt.htm/,
where
these
problem
lists
and
any
lecture
notes
that
the
participants
provide
will
be
posted.
Furthermore,
the
HMI
intends
to
have
a
preprint
series,
whereby
hard
copies
of
the
workshop
results
can
be
disseminated
to
research
institutions
worldwide.
Sponsors
Boston College, the
Hamilton Mathematics
Institute, the National Science Foundation and the Science Foundation
of Ireland, have
generously provided
grants to co-sponsor this event as part of
their commitment to fostering ties between the US scientific community
and the European scientific community.
