Dear Colleague,

Following a longstanding tradition, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague will organize a Spring School on Analysis. The School will be held at Paseky nad Jizerou, in a chalet in the Krkonose Mountains, May 31 - June 6, 2009.

The program will consist of series of lectures on

Function Spaces, Inequalities and Interpolation

delivered by

Newtonian spaces: First-order Sobolev spaces on metric spaces
Interpolation theory and compactness
Sobolev inequalities on non-compact Riemannian manifolds
Muckenhoupt weights and variable-exponent function spaces

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together researchers with common interest in the field. There will be opportunities for informal discussions. Graduate students and others beginning their mathematical career are encouraged to participate.

The conference fee will be EUR 450. A reduced rate of EUR 400 will be offered provided that an application form reaches the organizers before February 15, 2009. The  conference fee includes all local expenses (room and board) and transportation between Prague and Paseky. The fee for accompanying persons is the same.

In case of interest please fill in the preliminary registration form. The last announcement containing more details will be distributed in due time.

Due to the limited capacity of accommodation facilities the organizers may be forced to decline some later registrations.

Kindly inform your colleagues and students interested in this field.

We are looking forward to meeting you in the Czech Republic.
