Toshiaki Adachi, Nagoya, Japan. Title of the talk: Trajectories having single limit-point on a hadamard kähler manifold Abstract: Let M be a Hadamard Kähler manifold, which is a complete simply connected Kähler manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature. We take a trajectory γ for a Kähler magnetic field Biography: T. Adachi is a professor of Mathematics at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan (since 2002), and is a member of coordinators of the geometry branch in Japan Mathematical Society. More... |

Dmitri V. Alekseevsky, Moscow, Russia. Title of the talk: Hopf Bundle, Listing’s Law and Geometry of Saccades Abstract: Our eyes are constantly moving. Even while we fix our gaze on a still object, they participate in involuntary fixation eye movements –the microsaccades, that are rapid rotation of the eye w.r.t. fixed axis Ω, which alternate with slow stochasic drift. More... Biography: Emeritus Professor at Hull University since 2005 and leading researcher at Institute of Information Transmission Problems since 2011, he started his career as senior researcher at Research Institute of Semi-Products and Due-Stuff More... |

Marco Castrillon-Lopez, Madrid, Spain. Title of the talk: Ambrose-Singer theorem for symplectic manifolds Abstract: The study of homogeneous spaces has a cornerstone in the celebrated result of ambrose and Singer characterising these spaces by means of the existence of a metric connection. More... Biography: After positions and visits in EPFL (Switzerland), Caltech (USA), TIFR (India), PUC (Brazil), Imperial (UK), he is now professor at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. More... |

Maciej Dunajski, Cambridge, England. Title of the talk: Four facets of geometry: From Euclid's Postulates to Black Holes. Abstract: The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof - deductive reasoning from a set of axioms - first arose. More... Biography: Maciej Dunajski is a Fellow of Clare College, and a Professor of Mathematical Physics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, at the University of Cambridge.

Erlend Grong, Bergen, Norway. Title of the talk: Applications of geometry to statistics on manifolds. Abstract: Even the most basic features we use to describe a set of points, such as mean and covariance, are all computed using sums. It is therefore a challenge to describe statistics of points on Riemannian manifolds, where we have no well-defined addition- More... Biography: Erlend Grong took his Ph.D. 2012 at the University of Bergen, Norway, in the topics of sub-Riemannian geometry of finite and infinite dimensional Lie group. More... |

Stefano Montaldo, Cagliari, Italy. Title of the talk: Biconservative submanifolds. Abstract: This presentation aims to introduce the framework and fundamental properties of biconservative submanifolds. The initial work on biconservative hypersurfaces traces back to 1995 where Hasanis and Vlachos, proving the Chen’s conjecture for hypersurfaces in R^4, denoted such hypersurfaces as H-hypersurfaces. More... Biography: Stefano Montaldo graduated from the University of Cagliari in Italy and then Completed PhD in Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds, UK, under the supervision of Prof. J.C.

Marian Ioan Munteanu, Iasi, Romania. Title of the talk: Magnetic trajectories in the 3-dimensional Lie group SL(2,R) Abstract: Dynamical systems on 3-manifolds have been paid much attention along the time. In particular, magnetic trajectories are solutions of a second order differential equation (known as the Lorentz equation) and they generalise geodesics. More... Biography: Holder of a PhD in 2003 and of Habilitation in 2015 from the the University Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Marian Ioan Munteanu spent all his professional career at the same university and is now a full professor at the same university.
