About Workshop

The workshop’s goal was to explore connections across mathematical communities that study different geometric moduli spaces. The workshop brought 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 aimed to foster new connections and to elucidate future research directions.
