Conference on the Teichmüller Theory, Bellaterra, Spain
The Teichmüller theory is a branch of mathematics dealing with geometric structures on surfaces. The conference, in particular, will highlight some of the most important advances of the theory from a geometric point of view (Thurston's theory and its ramifications) and from an analytic point of view (Ahlfors-Bers theory and its ramifications). Their relationship with physics will be emphasised. In addition to specialised talks, there will be several so-called 'survey talks' by leading experts in the field. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate, and graduate students in the field are also welcome.
The European Mathematical Society and the European Research Centre on Mathematics, in partnership with the European Science Foundation, are organising this event.For further information, please visit:
