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
first two days of the workshop
will consist of three
mini-courses. The last three
days will consist of
research-oriented lectures.
Mini-courses
The
mini-courses on Volumes
of moduli spaces of
meromorphic
differentials
by Jayadev Athreya
(Seattle) and Elise Goujard
(Orsay) will be held during August 22-23
at
the HMI and is aimed at
junior researchers. Participants
interested in attending
should register online for
funding to attend both the
mini-courses and the lecture
series.
Lectures
The lecture series will be
held during August 24-26 at
the HMI. It will consist of
talks on topics related to the
conference theme of Geometry
and Dynamics of Moduli
Spaces. These talks
will convey 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 GEAR Network, the
Hamilton Mathematics
Institute, the National
Science Foundation (via
CAREER Grant DMS-1350396),
and
the Science Foundation of
Ireland have generously
provided funding to co-sponsor
this event as part of their
commitment to fostering ties
between the US scientific
community and the European
scientific community.
