Introductory Workshop on Optimal Transport: Geometry and Dynamics
Aug 26, 2013 to Aug 30, 2013

Organizer(s)

Luigi Ambrosio (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa), Lawrence C Evans (University of California at Berkeley), and Alessio Figalli* (University of Texas at Austin)
To apply for funding, you must register by Sun, Mar 31 2013.

The workshop is intended to give an overview of the research landscape surrounding optimal transportation, including its connections to geometry, design applications, and fully nonlinear partial differential equations.

As such, it will feature some survey lectures or minicourses by distinguished visitors and/or a few of the organizers of the theme semester, amounting to a kind of summer school.  These will be complemented by a sampling of research lectures and short presentations from a spectrum of invited guests and other participants, including some who attended the previous week's {em Connections for Women} workshop.

The introductory workshop aims to familiarize graduate students, postdocs, and non-experts to major and new topics of the current program. Though the audience is expected to have a general mathematical background, knowledge of technical terminology and recent findings is not assumed.
