WWU -- SFB 478
Geometric Structures in Mathematics



Organizers: U. Abresch, D. Gromoll, B.  Wilking, W.T. Meyer

The purpose of the meeting is to assess and promote our understanding of positively and negatively curved spaces in Riemannian Geometry. Our intention is to bring together experts in the field as well as young mathematicians. We are scheduling about four lectures on most days. The program of the Workshop is structured so that beyond the lectures, there will be many opportunities for intensive discussions.

Unfortunately, only limited support is available for invited speakers. We hope that many participants can find support from their own university.

Ch. Bär (Hamburg), W. Ballmann (Bonn), Ch. Böhm (Kiel), O. Dearricott (Münster), S. Engel (Münster), J. Eschenburg (Augsburg), P. Ghanaat (Karlsruhe), K. Grove (Maryland), L. Guijarro (Madrid), R. Gunesch (Leipzig), M. Hindawi (Philadelphia), J. Itoh (Kumamoto, Japan), W. Jimenez (Maryland), C.-W. Kim (Maryland), A. Kollross (Augsburg), Y.-A. Kordyukov (Ufa), A. Lytchak (Bonn), A. Petrunin (Penn State), N. Peyerimhoff (Bochum), Th. Püttmann (Bochum), V. Schroeder (Zürich), L. Schwachhöfer (Dortmund), C. Searle (UNAM Cuernavaca), U. Semmelmann (München), I. A. Taimanov (Novosibirsk), K. Tapp (Philadelphia), B. Totaro (Cambridge), W. Tuschmann (Münster), L. Verdiani (Firenze), D. Wraith (N.U.I.

Abstracts : Abstracts of all lectures are needed for our records. Several participants have also expressed interest in having them available by the beginning of the meeting. We will therefore continuously post the abstracts as abstracts.pdf on a separate web page (PDF format) and as abstracts.ps in PostScript format. Please email us your abstract as soon as possible, not to arrive later than Friday, July 25.

Bicycle tour to Hohenholte (35 km round trip): Depending on weather conditions we have planned a bicycle tour in the afternoon on Wednesday, August 6. If you would like to participate, please let us know by July 25.
