WWU -- SFB 478
Geometric Structures in Mathematics
Organizers: D. Gromoll (Stony Brook), W.T. Meyer, B. Wilking
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.

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 (latex-file) as soon as possible, not to arrive later than Monday, July 25.
Bicycle tour: Depending on weather conditions we have planned a bicycle tour in the afternoon on Wednesday, August 3, 2005. If you would like to participate, please register here by July 25, 2005 and indicate whether you need a rental bike.
