Description:
The subject of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category is now experiencing a renaissance. Although its origins are in variational analysis and dynamical systems, Lusternik- Schnirelmann theory has proved to be an important ingredient in other subjects as well. This is a perfect time for a conference on category: old problems and conjectures have fallen and new questions have opened up a treasure chest of potential applications in dynamics, symplectic geometry and algebraic topology.
