NIMS-KIAS Summer Winter School

Hyperbolic geometry: algorithmic, number theoretic and numerical aspects.

(A graduate student workshop ) March 15-19, 2010

Venue: KIAS, Seoul, South Korea

Host Supporter: NIMS

Supported also by KIAS and KOSEF

Organizers: Ki Hyoung Ko , Ja Kyung Koo (KAIST)

Scientific Advisor: Craig Hodgson (University of Melbourne)

Local Organizers: Suhyoung Choi (KAIST), Inkang Kim (KIAS)

Poster, Schedule and Abstracts

Many problems in 3-dimensional topology have been ``almost'' solved by the recent proof of Thurston's geometrization conjecture and the Poincare conjecture using the arguments first given by Perelman. However, there are many remaining significant questions in 3-manifolds such as classification problems. These types of problems can be assisted greatly by the use of computations involving number theoretical algorithmic and numerical methods to compute various invariants. Such a large research project will need many dedicated workers devoting their collected efforts to development of computational tools and so on.

This workshop consists of three main series of lectures by world experts in algorithmic, number theoretic, and numerical aspects of hyperbolic 3-manifold and 3-orbifold theory. They will introduce the theory leading up to recent developments. There will be preliminary lectures by local mathematicians on geometric structures, orbifold theory, and number theory and elliptic curves to prepare for these lectures. The main purpose of the workshop is to introduce these materials to the graduate students and early career mathematicians in Korea.

Note: The excursions will be on Monday. Except for the students and the lecturers on Monday, one should go to excursions. The excursion will begin in early morning due to traffic and we will mainly visit two or three Seoul palaces and other points of interests. The detail will be announced later.
