Department of Mathematics Pennsylvania State University at University Park
We propose to co-sponsor an international conference on geometry and mathematical physics, which will be held at the University of Dakar, Senegal, from May 14 to May 18, 2007. The aim of this annual event is to bring together worldwide experts, young researchers and advanced graduate students with common interests in geometry and mathematical physics. This year, the meeting will feature recent advances in symplectic geometry, Lie group and groupoid actions, as well as their interrelations with Riemannian and Poisson geometry.
The cross-fertilization of geometry and physics has led to important developments in mathematics. This meeting includes several lecture series delivered by leading experts in the field. It will provide an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to meet and interact with researchers from all over the world.
