Geometric Moduli Spaces – Rigidity, Genericity, Stability
Date: 19 - 23 May 2025
Location: ICMS Edinburgh
Event type: Workshop
Organisers: Izar Alonso Lorenzo (Rutgers), Bernhard Hanke (Ausburg), Christos Mantoulidis (Rice), Markus Upmeier (Aberdeen)
The workshop’s goal is to explore connections across mathematical communities that study different geometric moduli spaces. Our workshop will bring together researchers from positive scalar curvature geometry, minimal surface theory, harmonic mapping theory, and special geometries. The study of moduli spaces naturally draws on a confluence of ideas from neighbouring fields, and in each of these areas there is a tradition of exploiting rigidity, genericity, and stability phenomena.
Despite many parallel developments, there has been surprisingly limited interaction and cross-collaboration across these communities. This workshop aims to foster new connections and to elucidate future research directions.
