- Geometric and Functional Analysis (journal)
"Geometric and Functional Analysis (GAFA)" is a mathematical journal published by Birkäuser, an independent division of
Springer-Verlag . The journal is published approximately bi-monthly.The journal publishes papers on broad range of topics in geometry and analysis including
geometric analysis ,riemannian geometry ,symplectic geometry ,geometric group theory ,non-commutative geometry ,automorphic forms andanalytic number theory , and others. [ [http://www.springer.com/birkhauser/mathematics/journal/3 Journal description] , Geometric and Functional Analysis.]"GAFA" is both an
acronym and a part of the official full name of the journal.History
The journal "Geometric and Functional Analysis (GAFA)" was founded in 1991 by
Mikhail Gromov andVitali Milman . The idea for the journal was inspired by the long-running Israeli seminar series "Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis (GAFA)" of which Vitali Milman had been one of the main organizers in the previous years. The journal retained the same acronym as the series to stress the connection between the two. [Vitali D. Milman and Gideon Schechtman (Editors).
