The Bloomington Geometry Workshop is the first of an intended series of regional conferences on geometry. The main purpose of the Bloomington Geometry Workshop, to be held at the University of Indiana, is to promote scientific cooperation and communication between geometers and geometric analysts in a region including Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.
Modern geometry addresses problems such as understanding the ways in which typical spaces are curved and how far from the flat Euclidean model a space might be, the influence of curvature upon analysis in a particular geometry, interactions of large-scale geometry with probability theory and the algebraic properties of the fundamental group, hyperbolic geometry and the portion of low-dimensional topology that increasingly depends upon hyperbolic structures, and gauge field theories and other ideas from theoretical physics.
