Scientific Sessions

This field is relatively young and numerous problems and central concepts are accessible to mathematicians of various backgrounds and at different stages of their career. Simultaneously, Geometric Functional Analysis has many interesting long-standing open questions, among which are Bourgain’s slicing problem, the Kannan-Lov´asz-Simonovits conjecture, Mahler’s conjecture, the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture, and the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture to name a few.

The principal goal of this gathering will be to encourage synergies between experts and students coming from various fields of geometry, analysis, applied mathematics, and beyond, by promoting research in such problems and related ones, while helping to establish/expand a network of diverse collaborations.

Given the breadth of the field, we will ask all our invitees to prepare talks understandable to all members of the audience, including students and researchers outside of the specialization of the speaker. In particular, talks will clearly present the motivation behind the results. As such, we view this session as being inviting to students and accessible to mathematicians in other fields. We hope that emphasizing understandable talks will help initiate interactions between people working on different aspects of the field, leading to new collaborations. "
