GEAR
The GEAR Network is funded by a $5M grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Research Networks in Mathematical Sciences (RNMS) program. The acronym GEAR stands for GEometric structures And Representation varieties and reflects the mathematical focus of the network.
Upcoming Events
The first Junior Retreat for the GEAR Network will be held July 23 - August 3, 2012 and the Retreat 2012 will be held August 6 -10, 2012. Both Retreats will be held at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The purpose of these retreats is to build bridges between the different interest groups in the network -- and more broadly among mathematicians working in areas relating to GEometric structures And Representation varieties.
