RNC Workshop

Future Trends in Geometric Function Theory

15-18 June 2003 Jyväskylä, Finland



This will be a joint US-Finnish workshop to be held at the University of Jyväskylä immediately following the XIX Rolf Nevanlinna Colloquium 10-14 June 2003.
Our purpose is to foster international cooperation in geometric function theory.

The US participants will be partially funded by the US National Science Foundation.

The workshop will include both formal and informal exchanges of information. Each morning there will be four forty minute invited research talks; these will be more than just a report on current research results, but rather will be an overview of the lecturer's area of expertise. It is hoped that each speaker will present one or more problems suitable for collaborative exploration. Each afternoon there will be two forty-five minute workshops devoted to topics of shared interest; here all participants will be invited to raise questions, pose problems, and suggest lines of potential research. The goal will be to describe the current status of a subject, identify open problems, and map out future joint research plans.

These afternoon workshops will be centered on three main topics, with the indicated coordinators.
Topic Chairperson
Analysis in Metric Spaces Jeremy Tyson
Potential Theory in Metric Spaces Nages Shanmugalingam
Mappings of Finite Distortion Jani Onninen

In addition, the following prominent researchers have graciously agreed to present plenary talks following the afternoon workshops.
Lecturer InstitutionTitle of Talk
Mario Bonk University of Michigan Negative Curvature in Analysis
Gaven J. Martin University of Auckland The Problem of Siegel and Hurwitz: Symmetries of 3-Manifolds
Steve Buckley National University of Ireland Slice Conditions and Their Applications
