Description
This is a workshop sponsored by MSRI and the NSF focusing on Perelman's recent work on Thurston's geometrization conjecture using Hamilton's Ricci flow. The talks at MSRI are intended for a general audience and follow a week long workshop at AIM intended for a more specialized audience. Attending participants include Ian Agol, Ben Andrews, Sigurd Angenent, Danny Calegari, Huai-Dong Cao, Xiaodong Cao, Andrew Casson, Ben Chow, Toby Colding, Daryl Cooper, Sun-Chin Chu, Ailana Fraser, Michael Freedman, David Glickenstein, Christine Guenther, Craig Hodgson, Jim Isenberg, Misha Kapovich, Bruce Kleiner, Dan Knopf, Bernhard Leeb, John Lott,Peng Lu, Feng Luo, John Morgan, Lei Ni, Peter Petersen, Frank Quinn,Hyam Rubinstein, Rick Schoen, Takashi Shioya, Mu-Tao Wang, Brian White, Takao Yamaguchi, and Shing-Tung Yau.
