• March 28 to April 1, 2005

• American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center

• Palo Alto, California

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to bringing the communities of topologists and algebraic geometers together. The aim is to have an active exchange of results, techniques and ideas on the cohomology of the moduli spaces of curves.

Specific topics to be addressed include:

1. Integral cohomology, stable and unstable.
2. Tautological cohomology of the compactified moduli space.
3. Applications to Gromov-Witten theory.

The workshop is organized by Ulrike Tillmann and Ravi Vakil.

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
