Workshop on “Mathematical Problems in
General Relativity”
In 1996, the well known Chinese mathematician Prof.
Shing- Tung Yau established the Morningside Center of Mathematics
in Beijing. The center is a affiliated to the Chinese Academy
of Sciences, Beijing. It aims to promote research in mathematical
science in China by holding workshops and conferences in topics
in the frontiers of research.
In April, a workshop on “mathematical problems
in general relativity” will be held in the center. Distinguished
guests will come to Beijing to join the activity. Apart from
seminars, the guests will also give a series of lectures, introducing
the background as well as the latest development of the subject
to the graduate students in China.
The outline of the program for the workshop may
be described as follows.
From 1, April to 8, April, Prof. Felix Finster of
the Universität Regensburg, Germany, will give seminars on
”Variational principle of Fermionic sea.” Before then, he
will also give a series of graduate lectures in March on “Application
of spinors in general relativity.”
From 4, April to 15, April, Prof. Helmut Friedrich
of the Albert Einstein Institut, Germany, will give a series
of graduate lectures in the asymptotic structure of spacetime
and the related PDE aspects of the subject.
From 10, April to 17, April, the program is as follows:
1. Prof. Niky Kamran of McGill
University, Canada, will give lectures on “Wave equations
in Kerr spacetime.”
2. Prof. Robert Bartnik of the University of Canberra, Australia,
will give lectures on “Mass in general relativity” and “Characteristic
formulation of Einstein field equations.”
3. Prof. Jim Nester of the National Central University, Taiwan,
will give a talk on “Covariant Hamiltonian formalism.”
4. Prof. Hwei-Jang Yo of the University of Illinois and the
Academia Sinica, Taipei, will give lectures on topics in numerical
relativity.

International Conference on Cosmic Rays
and Magnetic Fields in Large Scale Structure
The 3rd Korea Astrophysics Workshop
16-20, August, 2004
Pusan National University, Busan, Korea
1. Scientific Rationale
Observations in radio and high energy bands have
revealed the existence of nonthermal components, cosmic rays
and magnetic fields, in large scale structure of the Universe,
and the importance of nonthermal processes has been demonstrated
in the studies of relatively nearby clusters.
In our efforts to understand these observational
signatures, this Conference will review recent progresses in
studies of the origin and roles of the nonthermal components
in LSS.
2. Topics
• Production and distribution
of cosmic rays in LSS.
• Generation, evolution and distribution of magnetic fields
in LSS.
• Role of nonthermal components in LSS.
• Observational manifestation of nonthermal processes in
LSS.
• Simulations of MHD and cosmic ray processes in LSS.
• Radio galaxies and AGNs in LSS.
• Particle accelerations in LSS.

International Conference on Linear Colliders
Colloque international sur les collisionneurs linéaires
19-23 April, 2004
“Le Carre des Sciences,” Paris, France
1. Conference Description
This “Colloque” is the 7th in the Worldwide LCWS
series which started at Saariselka, Finland in 1991, continuing
in Waikoloa, Hawaii; Morioka-Appi, Japan; Sitges, Spain; Fermilab,
USA; and Jeju, Korea. These workshop-style conferences have
been the main international forum for developing the physics
case and reviewing detector designs and techniques for an electron-positron
linear collider programme in the energy range up to about 1
TeV. LCWS 2004 takes place while the International Technology
Reccomendation Panel is meeting to decide between the “warm”
and “cold” accelerator technologies. Following their recommendation
a Global Design Team will be started and preparations will begin
for the bid to governments for full funding.
