Topology and Analysis have had numerous fruitful points of contact and mutual
application in the past. Nonetheless, we feel that a lot of further insights
can be gained from a closer relationship.
Our plan is to have about 25 lectures in total during the
week and the general topics we had in mind include:
Smooth K-theory, elliptic cohomology, surgery theory, elliptic
operators and loop spaces.
There will be ample time and opportunity for discussions.
Cortona is a beautiful little town in the Tuscan hills; the conference
will be held in "Il Palazzone", a renaissance villa owned by the
Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. In the early
summer this is the perfect stimulating environment to concentrate on
mathematics in general and the interaction of analysis and topolgoy in
particular.
Arrival day is Sunday, Jun 15, talks commence Monday, Jun 16 in the morning. The
conference ends around Friday, Jun 20, 5 pm; departure day is then Saturday, Jun
21. There will be no talks Wednesday afternooon.
