On the occasion of David Mumford’s 70th birthday there will be a one-day conference, in algebraic geometry, held on June 2, 2007. The venue will be at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Clay Mathematics Institute is kindly sponsoring the event.
The conference will feature five one-hour talks, on recent developments in algebraic geometry following from Mumford’s work. The speakers will be
- Valery Alexeev
- Igor Krichever
- Michael Rapoport
- Vyacheslav Shokurov
- Ulrike Tillmann
We have applied for funding to support graduate students, postdocs and early-career researchers. If the funding materializes, we will be happy to invite as many as we can.
The algebraic geometry conference is part of a two-day event. On June 1 there will be a sister meeting on computer vision. The computer vision component will be held in Newport, Rhode Island.
Further details, about both conferences, can be found from the joint web page.
