TRAVEL SUPPORT: 

PNGS meetings are supported by funds from the National Science 
Foundation and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical 
Sciences.  Limited travel support is available for participants in 
this meeting.  First priority goes to graduate students and faculty 
from the participating universities (Oregon State, U. of Oregon, 
Portland State, Stanford, UBC, U. of Utah, U. of Washington).  If 
you are affiliated with one of these universities and are interested 
in travel support, please contact one of the PNGS organizers at your 
university NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 6: 

OSU      Christine Escher ([log in to unmask]) 
         Hal Parks ([log in to unmask]) 
         Juha Pohjanpelto ([log in to unmask]) 
Stanford Rafe Mazzeo ([log in to unmask]) 
U of O   Boris Botvinnik ([log in to unmask]) 
         Peter Gilkey ([log in to unmask]) 
         Jim Isenberg ([log in to unmask]) 
UBC      Jim Carrell ([log in to unmask])
         Jingyi Chen ([log in to unmask])
         Ailana Fraser ([log in to unmask])
Utah     Mladen Bestvina ([log in to unmask]) 
         Nick Korevaar ([log in to unmask])

         Andrejs Treibergs ([log in to unmask]) 
UW       Dan Pollack ([log in to unmask]) 
         Jack Lee ([log in to unmask]) 

Participants from other universities may be supported if funds are 
available.  Travel support is limited to graduate students or faculty 
members who do not have NSF grants that provide travel funds.  We 
are particularly interested in providing support to young researchers, 
female mathematicians, and members of underrepresented groups. 

If you are not affiliated with a participating university and 
would like to be considered for travel support, contact Jim 
Isenberg <[log in to unmask]> as soon as possible.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1100 mathematicians worldwide.

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference anouncement will also begin with that statement.  In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference
will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct! Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
