International Micro-Workshop on the Hypoelliptic Laplacian

May 7-10, 2019
Department of Mathematics
Penn State University

This was a small gathering to discuss Bismut’s hypoelliptic Laplacian and its applications. Each day began with an informal lecture, which was followed either by other informal lectures, or by even more informal discussions. The event was open to all.
