Research Goals

 

SAGE provides a forum for experts in geometric analysis and related disciplines to explore open problems, further work-in-progress, and cultivate new and existing collaborations, especially across specialties. In contrast to a conference, where speakers give formal presentations of their completed results, the SAGE model invites participants to discuss ongoing, planned, and hoped-for research.

 

This year’s workshop will focus on emerging relationships between expanding homogeneous solitons on nilpotent and solvable Lie groups and Type-III Ricci flow solutions.
