Speakers
Details
This conference in held in honour of Hiroaki Terao.
The goal of this conference is to examine the current status of research in hypergeometric integrals, differential forms and derivations on divisors, as well as hyperplane arrangements in general. The latter includes, more generally, work on reflection groups and cohomology jumping loci, with an emphasis on the influence of developments in these areas on a larger spectrum of mathematics. Correspondingly, the scope of the conference is intended to have a relatively broad appeal for both experts and graduate students. Following Hiroaki Terao’s example as a remarkable teacher and mentor the lectures will be one hour, allowing plenty of time for introduction and accessibility for graduate students. Throughout Terao’s career, being a professor in Japan and the US, he has worked towards uniting cultures through mathematics and disseminating it to a wide audience. He has published three books in English, two books in Japanese, over fifty refereed research papers, and over twenty high school and college level math magazine articles. Recently he has worked towards uniting and supporting mathematics research efforts of Pacific Rim countries. He is a representative of the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association, Mathematical Society of Japan Science Committee member, and a program officer for the Research Center for Science Systems of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science.
