During his prolific career, Peter J. Olver played an important role in the development of symmetry group methods to differential equations, geometry, and applied mathematics. The purpose of the conference "Symmetry, Invariants, and their Applications: A Celebration of Peter Olver's 70th Birthday" is to bring together leading experts, promising younger researchers, and graduate students from around the world to assess the rapid advances occurring in the field of symmetries and invariants, and evaluate the most promising directions of future developments.
Topics: Symmetry of differential equations, difference equations, and generalizations. Invariant theory, differential invariants, and generalizations. Equivariant moving frames. Equivalence problems and normal forms. Invariant geometric flows and integrable systems. Applications to geometric numerical integration, computer vision, and more.
