International Workshop on Function Spaces and Applications

Freyburg/Unstrut (Germany), July 6 - 12, 2008

First Announcement

Dear Colleague, we are organising an

International Workshop on “Function Spaces and Applications”, July 6-12, 2008. http://www.minet.uni-jena.de/∼wfs/

It is our intention to concentrate on various aspects of the theory of function spaces which are relevant in applications to partial differential operators, spectral theory, and fractal analysis. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Morrey-Type Spaces • Weighted Function Spaces and Inequalities • Embeddings and Envelopes • Extensions and Traces

We are glad that the following speakers accepted our invitation to give plenary lectures:

Oleg V. Besov Steklov Institute Moscow / Russia Viktor I. Burenkov Peoples Friendship University of Russia, Moscow / Russia Michail Gol’dman Peoples Friendship University of Russia, Moscow / Russia Dorothee D. Haroske Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena / Germany Luboˇs Pick Charles University Prague / Czech Republic Hans Triebel Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena / Germany

The conference is an essential part of the German-Russian research project “Function spaces adapted to applications in partial differential equations, spectral theory, and fractal analysis”. It is mainly funded by the DFG (436 RUS 113/903/0-1).

1. Lectures The programme of the conference consists of invited main lectures (speakers as abo- ve) and a limited number of short communications given by the participants. Please indicate your intention to give a talk and do not forget to send us your abstract in the enclosed (preliminary) registration form ! There will be an opportunity for ad hoc- seminars. 2. Venue The Conference will take place in Berghotel zum Edelacker, Freyburg / Unstrut http://www.edelacker.de/ situated in a beautiful countryside about 50 km north of Jena. This region is popular as an old wine-growing country with more than 1000 years tradition, Freyburg itself being the centre of this most northerly wine-growing area within Europe. One of the oldest champagne producers in Germany, “Rotkappchen”¨ (reminding of the fairy ta- le Little Red Riding Hood) is based in Freyburg (http://www.rotkaeppchen.de/). The town (http://www.freyburg-info.de/startseite.html) is embedded into a cultural and hi- storically distinct landscape, linked by the famous Route of Romanesque, including, in particular, the picturesque town Naumburg with its famous cathedral “St. Peter and Paul” (http://www.naumburg.de), the prehistoric sites within the Natural Reser- ve Saale-Unstrut-Triasland (http://www.naturpark-saale-unstrut.de/) and, directly ad- jacent to our hotel, the impressive old castle Schloss Neuenburg (http://www.schloss- neuenburg.de/English-Site.html). This huge castle on the east side of the Unstrut river valley was founded around 1090 by a Thuringian count, its double chapel, built bet- ween 1170 and 1200, is still an architectural treasure. The town is also famous for its son Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, a historic personality often called “the father of gymnastics” in Germany (http://www.jahn-museum.de/). Naumburg, only a few kilometers away from Freyburg, has direct fast train connections to Berlin and Frankfurt/Main.

3. Costs The accommodation is arranged at the hotel in single and double rooms with full board (buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner). The price is 95 e per night and person in a single room and 76 e per night and person in a double room. The conference fee is 60 e.

The second announcement with further details will be mailed until the end of March 2008.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Freyburg. Dorothee D. Haroske Hans-Gerd Leopold Hans-J¨urgen Schmeißer Winfried Sickel
