CONFORMAL AND SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY
Conformal and symplectic geometry are rapidly developing areas of mathematics, each offering a host of interesting and challenging problems. There are well known common directions including the use and study of gauge theory and integrable systems. Classical conformal geometry is a special case of the broader class of parabolic geometries which includes many structures where symplectic and contact structure is a main feature.
The aim of this conference is to explore the interactions between these core fields and in particular investigate whether tools and ideas from one area can be transported across to the other. By bringing together leading experts to discuss the recent progress in their fields, we hope to create an informal atmosphere where both experienced and young researchers can benefit from the opportunity to learn the new results in these subjects.
