The focus will be on topics ination of recent developments in 3-dimensional topologyin the of recent research including linear response theoryand kinetic light of Perelman’s probable proof of Thurston’s Geometrization equations, noncommutative geometryand the quantum Hall effect, Conjecture, and of other important advances such as the proof of edge and bulk conductivities, the Kubo formula for conductivity, Thurston’s Ending Lamination Conjecture, and of Marden’s Tame- classical and quantum diffusion, and other transport phenomena ness Conjecture and the development of Heegaard Floer homology in random media. The workshop consists of hour-long expository theory. The meeting will take stock of the subject and set out talks byleading researchers in random Schro¨dinger operators and directions for future research. transport theory, short talks by new researchers in the field, a respect to participation in the meeting, this fact should be noted.
