Description: As an annual supplement to the Journal of Differential Geometry, Surveys in Differential Geometry focuses on specific topics of current interest. Survey articles review the current state of knowledge relating to particular questions and present new integrative results. Surveys in Differential Geometry provides both a large number of insightful and informative articles and an indispensable tool for keeping up with the wide variety of researches in Differential Geometry. The 2005 conference was dedicated to Professor S. S. Chern, a great leader in the field of geometry who passed away in 2004 at the age of 93. Many of his friends and students came from all around the world to honor him. Several talks were given on his life-long work in geometry and topology, as well as lectures on some new contributions to these fields. Contents: On the space-time monopole equation B. Dai, C.-L.
