Workshop on Geometric Evolution Equations

July 15 - August 14, 2002

National Center for Theoretical Sciences
National Tsing Hua University
Hsinchu, Taiwan

Topics:

The focus of the workshop will be on Geometric Evolution Equations, including Ricci Flow, Kaehler-Ricci Flow, Mean and Inverse Mean Curvature Flows, Gauss Curvature Flow, Harmonic Map Heat Flow, and other geometric flows. There will be special emphasis on the following topics: Mean curvature and related flows Kaehler-Ricci flow Riemannian Ricci flow

About the center:

Participants will have an office (possibly shared) with a computer with internet access, building entrance cards and keys allowing after hours and weekend access, library and xerox cards. The facilities at the NCTS are very modern. Computers with internet access and printers are in the common areas. One of the two main seminar rooms includes a computer video projector and internet access. Most participants will stay at one of the guest houses on campus, which are close to the center.

Local information:

Depending on participant interest, informal weekend day trips may be planned to visit local sites such as the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which houses the world's largest collection of Chinese art treasures.
