The Fourth Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium (AB2008) May 8-11, 2008 This is the next in a series of triennial colloquia devoted to the mathematical legacy of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers. The core of this legacy concerns geometric function theory, quasiconformal mapping, Teichmüller theory and Kleinian groups, hyperbolic manifolds, and partial differential equations including Schram/Stochastic-Loewner-Evolution/ Equations. In addition the work of Alhfors and Bers has had an impact on algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, dynamics, geometric group theory, number theory and topology. The Fourth Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Rutgers Research Council, the Graduate School-Newark, the Newark Chancellors Office, the FASN Dean's Office and the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Rutgers - Newark. Since funds are limited, we will focus our support on students and early career mathematicians and those without alternate sources of support. We ask mathematicians with alternate sources of support to use those. However, we welcome requests for support from all participants and will do our best to meet all requests. Requests for financial support should be made by March 20th. Requests will be processed then and responses to the requests will be sent by March 27th. Late requests will be processed if funds remain. The scientific organizing committee consists of: | | Kari Astala (Helsinki) | Mario Bonk (Michigan) | | Dick Canary (Michigan) | Alex Eremenko (Purdue) | | Jane Gilman (Rutgers-Newark), chair | Juha Heinonen (Michigan) | | Howard Masur (UIC) | Yair Minsky (Yale) | | Mike Wolf (Rice) | Scott Wolpert (Maryland) |
