ABOUT
THE CONFERENCE
Geometric Function Theory has had and
continues to have a profound impact throughout mathematics including Complex
Analysis, Harmonic and Functional Analysis, Partial differential equations,
Dynamics, Geometry and Topology. After the positive settlement of Bieberbach’s
conjucture by Louis de Branges, the role played by Special Functions in these
fields is important. The general theme of the conference concerns various
aspects of Geometric Function Theory, in particular the interplay between
Geometric Function Theory and Special Functions. The main aspect of this
conference is to promote the creation and maintenance of contacts with
scientists from diverse cultures. The primary goal will be to provide an
opportunity for young Indian Function Theorists to meet experts in this field
from various other countries, have exchange of information and to encourage future
collaboration.
