Geometric Aspects of Spectral Theory
Mar 12, 2001 to Mar 16, 2001

Organizer(s)

Jean-Michel Bismut, Tom Branson, S.-Y. Alice Chang and Kate Okikiolu
To apply for funding, you must register by Mon, Jan 29 2001.

This workshop will study the spectral theory of geometric operators, including:

  • spectral invariants
  • applications in conformal geometry
  • classification of 4-manifolds
  • index theory
  • scattering theory


The goal of this workshop is to encourage interaction among people working on these problems in partial differential equations, geometry, topology, harmonic analysis, number theory, representation theory, and probabilistic methods, and to assess future directions.

Speakers will include:

  • Victor Guillemin (MIT)
  • John Lott (Michigan)
  • Jie Qing (UC - Santa Cruz)
  • Jean-Michel Bismut (Paris-Sud [Orsay])
  • Tom Branson (Iowa)
  • Richard Melrose (MIT)
  • Werner Müller (Bonn)
  • Peter Sarnak (Princeton)
  • Gang Tian (MIT)
  • Steve Zelditch (Johns Hopkins)
  • Jochen Brüning (Berlin)
  • Charles Fefferman (Princeton)
  • Matt Gursky (Indiana)
  • Tobias Colding (NYU)
  • Peter Li (UC - Irvine)
  • Kate Okikiolu (UCSD)
  • Percy Deift (UPenn)
  • Paolo Piazza (Rome)
  • Wei-Ming Wang (Paris-Sud [Orsay])
  • Kai Köhler (Bonn)
  • Bent Ørsted (Odense)
  • Paul Yang (USC)
  • Colin de Verdiere (Grenoble)
  • Christophe Soulé (IHES)
  • Rick Schoen (Stanford)
