This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
the study of recent advances in understanding deformations of Riemann
surfaces via the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmuller and moduli spaces. 

The workshop is organized by
Keith Burns, Howard Masur, Amie Wilkinson, and Scott Wolpert.

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.
