Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Moduli problems beyond geometric invariant theory ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 25 to January 29, 2021 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/newmethodmoduli ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to applications of recent foundational developments in the theory of algebraic stacks (constructions of moduli spaces and generalizations of Harder-Narasimhan theory) to specific moduli problems of long-standing interest, such as the moduli of curves, the moduli of higher dimensional varieties and the moduli of principal bundles. The workshop is organized by Jarod Alper, Daniel Halpern-Leistner, Yuchen Liu, and Filippo Viviani. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/newmethodmoduli 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 December 5, 2020. 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.
