November 01 - 05, 2004 |
Organizing Committee:
First Announcement
We would like to draw your attention to the
Workshop
"Recent developments in spectral geometry".
This meeting will take place in the Bildungszentrum Blossin, in direct
neighbourhood to Berlin.
This workshop is supported by the DFG Priority Programme 1154 "Global
Differential Geometry".
The workshop will be devoted to recent aspects in index, scattering and
spectral theory of geometric operators (Laplace, Dirac) on Riemannian
manifolds.
Invited Lectures
- W. Ballmann, Bonn - Free subgroups of fundamental groups.
- T. Branson, Iowa - Q-curvature, generalizations, and applications to
spectral theory.
- U. Bunke, Göttingen - On the topology of T-duality.
- G. Carron, Nantes - On the differential form spectrum of hyperbolic
manifolds.
- J. Dodziuk, New York - Discrete Magnetic Laplacians.
- R. Mazzeo, Stanford - Continuation of the resolvent on locally symmetric
spaces.
- W. Müller, Bonn - Determinants of Laplace type operators and analytic
surgery.
- P. Perry, Kentucky - Determinants of Laplacians and Inverse Scattering on
Noncompact Manifolds.
- T. Sunada, Tokio - Spectral geometry of crystal lattices.
- St. Zelditch, Baltimore - Feynman diagrams in inverse spectral theory.
Two compact courses organized by the International Graduate College
"Arithmetic and Geometry"
- W. Ballmann, Bonn - Buildings and spaces of nonpositive curvature.
- A. Juhl, Uppsala - Trace formulas - old and new results.
- The Selberg trace formula: spectral theory of the Laplacian.
- The dynamical Lefschetz formula: fixed point formula for the geodesic
flow.
