Geometry, Topology, and their Interactions
Morelia, Mexico
January 8-13, 2007

http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~jlafont/MoreliaConf.html

This conference will bring together mathematicians who use geometric  
methods to study topological problems and mathematicians who use  
topological methods to study geometric problems, for example,  
geometric group theorists with high dimensional topologists.

The conference is held in honor of the mathematical contributions of  
Tom Farrell and Lowell Jones.

On the weekend of January 6-7 there will be two series of  
introductory lectures on geometric group theory and controlled  
topology, targeted at graduate students and postdocs.

Speakers at the conference include: Alejandro Adem, Igor Belegradek,  
Ken Brown, Fred Cohen, Chris Connell, Frank Connolly, Mike Davis,  
Tsachik Gelander, Ian Hambleton, Luis Hernandez-Lamoneda, Bruce  
Hughes, Tadeusz Januszkiewicz, Lizhen Ji, Qayum Khan, Bruce Kleiner,  
Chris Leininger, Peter Linnell, Bob Oliver, Ivonne Ortiz, Erik  
Pedersen, Frank Quinn, M. S. Raghunathan, Holger Reich, Xiaochun  
Rong, Ben Schmidt, Anna Wienhard, Kevin Wortman, and Guoliang Yu.

The conference is partially funded by a grant from the NSF and by the  
Insituto de Mathemticas-UNAM, Unidad Morelia.  Travel support for  
Canadians is available through PIMS.  Some limited funds will be  
available to help cover the costs of attending the conference.  
Graduate students and postdocs are particularly encouraged to apply.

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. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

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.
