The concentration week in Metric Spaces: Analysis, Embeddings into Banach Spaces, Applications forms one of the activities in the 2016 installment of the Workshop in Analysis and Probability which takes place every summer at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
The conference aims to provide a forum for understanding and exploring various recent developments in metric geometry and Banach space geometry that revolve around the embeddability of metric spaces into Banach spaces. Topics will include analysis on metric spaces, nonlinear Banach space theory, low-distortion and low-dimensional embeddings into Banach spaces, and applications of metric embeddings into Banach spaces in geometric group theory and topology. The meeting aims to promote connections between analysts on metric spaces, Banach space geometers, discrete geometers, and group geometers.
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation. Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
