This award will support the participation of graduate students and postdocs in the "Sixteenth Riviere-Fabes Symposium" that will be held at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities from April 19-21, 2013.

This annual conference, of which the 2013 meeting will be the sixteenth in the series, celebrates the mathematical legacy of Nestor M. Riviere and Eugene B. Fabes by focusing on recent developments in analysis, especially in the field of partial differential equations. The 2013 program will feature two principle speakers (Mihalis Dafermos and Assaf Naor), each of whom will give a two-hour lectures, and a number of one-hour talks delivered primarily by four mathematicians, including two females (Marianna Csornyei, Andrea R. Nahmod, Fedor Nazarov, Peter Topalov). The program allows ample time for informal discussion among the participants.

Project Report

The 16th Rivière-Fabes Symposium on Analysis and PDE was held April 19-21, 2013, at the School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota. It was a conference focused on the latest developments in the field of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. The funds provided by the NSF were used to support participation of more than 20 mathematicians at early stages of their carries , together with graduate students. Attracting top talent to the area the conference focused on is important for many reasons. For example, the Partial Differential Equations are one of the main mathematical tools for describing many natural phenomena. They are also important in Engineering (e.g. in connection with modelling fluid flows or calculating loads on bridges and buildings) . The speakers were well-known mathematicians working in of Analysis and PDEs, who have made remarkable contributions to the area. The two-hour speakers were Mihalis Dafermos (Princeton University) and Assaf Naor (Courant Institute) and one-hour talks were given by Marianna Csörnyei (University of Chicago), Andrea Nahmod (University of Massachusetts), Fedor Nazarov (Kent State University) and Peter Topalov (Northeastern University). In addition to the funding from the NSF, the Symposium was also supported by the Rivière- Fabes Fund at the University of Minnesota, and the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications.
