North American Workshop on Tropical Geometry (07w5055)
Organizers
Ilia Itenberg (University of Strasbourg)
Grigory Mikhalkin (University of Toronto)
Yan Soibelman (Kansas State University)
Description
A meeting on Tropical Geometry, organized by Ilia Itenberg (Strasbourg), Grigory Mikhalkin (Toronto) and Yan Soibelman (Manhatten), will be hosted by BIRS next week, March 4-9, 2007. World-leading experts in different areas of Mathematics will gather in Bnaff to discuss recent advances and new perspectives in this young branch of Geometry built on the (max,+) arithmetics. By now Tropical Geometry has already contributed powerful tools that helped to solve a number of classical problems in Real and Complex Geometry. The focus of the workshop will be inner foundations of this new subject, its Mathematical applications as well as connections with Physics.
