The scientific focus of this workshop will be on Riemannian manifolds endowed with special geometric structures, such as almost hermitian manifolds, contact metric manifolds, G2 and Spin(7) manifolds, including their wide applications in various areas of mathematical physics. An interesting aspect of this area is that, though rooted in differential geometry, it has deep and extensive interactions with complex (algebraic) geometry, and global analysis. Also, it has become clear recently that techniques borrowed from symplectic and contact geometry are useful in metric problems as well.
Organizers: Ilka Agricola, Vestislav Apostolov, Robert L. Bryant, Spiro Karigiannis, McKenzie Y. Wang.
