Symmetry and shape - Celebrating the 60th birthday of Prof. E. García Río

According to Felix Klein, geometry is the study of those properties in space that are invariant under a given transformation group. Intuitively, symmetry is the correspondence of shape at every point of a space. An interesting problem in geometry and many physical sciences is to determine the symmetries of a space from its shape.
The aim of this conference is to gather experts in the study of symmetry in Differential Geometry, whilst we celebrate Eduardo García Río's 60th birthday. The conference will revolve around the study of curvature, homogeneous and symmetric spaces, Riemannian submanifold geometry, and other related topics in Differential Geometry and Geometric Analysis.
