Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mapping theory in metric spaces ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 9 to January 13, 2012 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/mappingmetric.html ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to mappings between metric spaces and the recent advances on basic questions concerning uniqueness, extendability, embeddability, uniformization and extremality of mappings in a variety of regularity classes. The workshop is organized by Luca Capogna, Jeremy Tyson, and Stefan Wenger. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/mappingmetric.html 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 September 9, 2011. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM 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.
