Riemannian geometry plays an important role in many areas of mathematics and natural science. Recent study also shows that non-Riemannian geometry has applications in mathematical psychology, general relativity, PDE, navigation problems, imaging process, and module spaces, etc. Riemannian geometry provides some basic tools to study non-Riemannian spaces. There are also new methods developed exclusively for the investigation of non-Riemannian spaces.
This workshop will provide a platform for geometers to communicate with each other and discuss the research projects for the future. This workshop will also provide a good opportunity for mathematicians to understand non-Riemannian geometry and find motivation to work in this area.
