CIMPA-UNESCO-SPAIN School

UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID

"New Trends in Singularity Theory"

ICM Madrid 2006 Satellite Activity


    

Dates: 14-21 August 2006
Place: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM),
Facultad de Ciencias Matemáticas, Madrid, Spain
Scientific Advisory Board: A. Dimca (Nice, France), I. Luengo (Madrid, Spain), A. Campillo (Valladolid, Spain), Pi. Cassou-Noguès (Bordeaux, France), A. Melle (Madrid, Spain)
Organizers: I. Luengo, (UCM, Madrid, Spain), J. Fernández de Bobadilla (UNED, Madrid, Spain),        
M. González Villa (UCM, Madrid, Spain)

Objectives:

We intend to introduce the students to some important new developments in Singularity Theory and related areas in Algebraic Geometry, and to provide them with the tools necessary for conducting research in these areas. This aim will be achieved in a series of mini-courses, each one starting with classical material and taking the audience to the current state of art in the subject.
A second main objective of this school is to facilitate the contacts of the students coming from the South with a large number of mathematicians. This is achieved by organizing this School in Madrid just before the opening of the ICM 2006.

Language: All courses will be held in english
