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

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on
the use of model theoretic ideas in analysis and metric geometry,
bringing together model theorists and specialists from a few key
application areas for a period of intense discussions. A diverse
combination of backgrounds will allow the participants to explore
from new angles certain examples, applications, and theoretical
problems that define the frontier of research on the model theory
of metric structures. 

The workshop is organized by
C. Ward Henson and Itay Ben-Yaacov.

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.
