The 35th Annual Geometry Festival, hosted by the Department of Mathematics and the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University, will be held as a web-based virtual event during the weekend of April 23-25, 2021.
The scientific program will consist of eight one-hour plenary talks, delivered by
Simon Donaldson (Simons Center, Stony Brook, and Imperial College, London)
Jean-Pierre Demailly (Institut Fourier, Grenoble)
Akito Futaki (Yau Center, Tsinghua University)
Tristan Collins (MIT)
Jim Isenberg (University of Oregon)
Melissa C.-C. Liu (Columbia University)
Bing Wang (USTC)
Joel Spruck (Johns Hopkins University)
We hope that a large sector of the geometry community will choose to participate in the Festival. While the conference will be free of charge, participants must register in advance in order to watch the talks in real time, ask questions, and actively participate in other ways. The lecture schedule, titles and abstracts of the talks, and a registration link are now all available at the conference website
http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/geomfest/ <http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/geomfest21/>
and we therefore hope that you will consider visiting our website immediately.
However, we understand that time-differences andor scheduling conflicts will inevitably make it impractical for some interested geometers to watch the lectures in real time. For this reason, all the conference talks will be recorded and made publicly available via a link on our website soon after the conclusion of the conference. Conference registration will not be necessary for those who just wish to watch the recordings of the lectures, and we hope that this option will further amplify the global impact of the Festival.
