Overview:
From its very beginnings, set theory has enjoyed a relationship with
analysis which, while at times close and at others distant, has always
allowed for the possibility of symbiosis. During the Fall of 2002 the
Fields Institute will hosts a thematic program devoted to fostering
the interaction between these two areas. Internationally recognized
experts from both disciplines will be on site from September 2002 through
to December 2002.
The format of the program will include at least two short, but intense
thematic workshops. One will focus on set theoretic techniques in the
theory of Banach spaces and an other will concentrate
on Borel relations and dynamical systems. While some participants
will actively participate throughout the semster, others will be brought
in for a specific workshop. Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows
on site for the entire program will be exposed to a wide range of research
topics, while invited specialists will be able to contribute in their
area of expertise. The program will also incorporate, whenever possible,
mini-courses intended to quickly bring graduate students to the frontiers
of knowledge on particular subjects.

Postdoctoral Fellowships
Qualified candidates were invited to apply for postdoctoral fellowships
associated with the program. Deadline for applications was January 2,
2002
Graduate Student Funding
Funding is available to graduate students to visit for a term. Interested
graduate students must forward a letter of application with a letter
of recommendation from their supervisor. Standard support amounts for
graduate students is approx. $1000/mth and students should negotiate
with their home institutions or advisors for additional funding if required.
All documents should be received January 2002.
