VIII International Colloquium on Differential Geometry
Santiago de Compostela, 7-11 July 2008
Fifth Colloquium

Held from 24 to 28 of September, 1984, the number of participants in this Colloquium was 95, coming from 12 different countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Israel, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and United States).

This time the Colloquium was structured in two Sections devoted to Riemannian Geometry and Theory of Foliations, respectively; although the plenary lectures by invitation were common to both sections, there was a separate timetable for each of them.

There were 8 plenary lectures by invitation, and the invited lecturers were J. Eells (Great Britain), J. Girbau (Spain), A. Gray (USA), A. Haefliger (Switzerland), A. Lichnerowicz (France), B.L. Reinhart (USA), L. Vanhecke (Belgium) and T.J. Willmore (Great Britain).

The proceedings of this Colloquium were published in the Pitman’s series “Research Notes in Mathematics” in 1985. A total of 47 conferences and/or communications are collected in these proceedings. The reference of this publication is the following:
