Conference held at SFU hosted scholars from world famous universities and research centres

SFU hosted internationally renowned scholars of algebra and geometry on complex variables for a conference held in the honour of Boris Shabat (1917-1987) from 15 through 20 August.

Coming from universities and research centres in Japan, Uzbekistan, North America, Europe and Russia, presenters addressed topics including: holomorphic continuations and symplectic topology, residues and duality, geometry of discriminants, amoebas and coamoebas, topology of singular divisors and their complements, geometry and combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements.

The conference was held in the honour of the prominent Soviet mathematician and teacher, Boris Shabat, whose work and teaching practices influenced the emergence and development of research in complex analysis.
