Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will study
mappings in CR geometry. Participants will focus on a quite specific
part of this general subject, namely the relationship between the
complexity of a CR mapping and the complexity of the CR structures
on the domain and target manifolds.

The workshop has three principal goals. The first goal is to 
determine the fundamental notions of CR complexity and to prove
sharp results about these notions. The second goal is to organize 
CR complexity theory into a broad framework that will be useful in
CR geometry and also apply to other parts of mathematics. The 
third goal is to bring active senior researchers and young
mathematicians together to work in a focused manner that will 
forge interactions and guide future research. 

The workshop is organized by
Peter Ebenfelt and John P. D'Angelo.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than June 11, 2006. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC
policies concerning participation and financial support
for participants.

--------------------------------------

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
