Moment maps and surjectivity in various geometries August 9 to August 13, 2004 AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA Organizers: Tara Holm, Eugene Lerman, and Susan Tolman Workshop topics: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the question of surjectivity of the Kirwan map for quotients in contact, hyper-Kaehler, and 3-Sasakian geometries. In the past thirty years, tremendous progress has been made in the study of moment maps, symplectic quotients, and the question of surjectivity. In recent years, similar questions have arisen in fields other than symplectic geometry: contact, hyper-Kaehler, and 3-Sasakian geometries. This workshop will explore phenomena that are well understood in symplectic geometry but are more puzzling in these new settings.
