ABSTRACT
This award provides participant support for the 19th version of the Red Raider Symposium series, hosted at Texas Tech University, in Lubbock, Texas, from April 20-23, 2023. The main objectives of the activity are to improve our understanding of recent significant developments in the field of Differential Geometry and Integrable Systems, bring together mathematicians from different backgrounds and in various career stages to foster mutual understanding and lay out foundations for future collaborative research and advance engagement of diverse graduate students and early-career researchers, particularly from underrepresented groups.
The topics presented and discussed in this symposium span geometric flows, the connection between geometry and topology, geometric modeling and PDEs, and integrable systems. The inter-connection between these closely related subfields creates a framework in which advancement in one will collaterally lead to proportional boosts to others. The workshop-style event and participant diversity provide ample opportunities for interested students and researchers alike to find access points. The resulting interactions and discussions will lay the groundwork for future research by identifying important open questions and potential techniques to solve them.

This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The funding supported participants to attend the 19th version of the Red Raider Symposium series, hosted at Texas Tech University, in Lubbock, Texas, from April 20-23, 2023. This esteemed international scientific conference focused on Differential Geometry and Integrable Systems. The research talks were complemented by a poster session, a group excursion to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, and several social activities. The program emphasized significant diversity in both research topics and participants’ backgrounds. Thus, it was a great platform for mutual scholarly understanding, informal networking opportunities, and, eventually, the formulation of a scientific community with a strong sense of camaraderie.
Intellectual merits:
The symposium served as a platform for the widespread sharing of recent developments in differential geometry and integrable systems along with open questions and challenges. The workshop-style event, with strong emphasis on fostering communication and interaction, provided ample opportunities for participants to find access points. Expectedly, the interactions and discussions will establish a springboard for further advancement in the field.
Broader impacts:
The conference hosted 12 planetary speakers, 33 registered participants, and several local attendees. The participants' backgrounds vary in career stages (from early career to senior professors), nationality (at least 7 nationalities were represented), gender, and race (Hispanics, Asians, Caucasians, and African Americans). The program with several social activities was a great platform for educational enrichment and experience sharing. This will have long-term effects, particularly for ones from under-represented groups.
Furthermore, the graduate students contributing as local organizers/helpers developed teamwork and communication skills while learning about the nuts and bolts of academic life. The poster session offered a forum for junior researchers to confidently showcase and promote their research in a relaxing atmosphere. The majority of participants attended it. Finally, the main topics discussed have deep roots in physics, chemistry, biology, general relativity, fluid mechanics, architecture, and data sciences. Thus, advancing knowledge in this field will potentially lead to far-reaching applications.
