The conference will feature primarily one-hour talks 
by our invited speakers.  The talks will be held on 
Brown's campus, with the first day (May 3) in the 
Mathematics Department (151 Thayer St.), and the 
remaining talks in Wilson Hall, on the old campus.

There will also be short introductory lectures by 
the organizers on Thursday morning, May 3, in the 
mathematics department.  These will be intended 
primarily for graduate students and early-career 
mathematicians.

For precise schedule information, and information 
on lodging and registration, please see:

Some funding may be still available for new Ph.D.s 
and graduate students.  Please register to be considered 
for funding.  (We request that all likely participants 
register so that we have some idea of the expected attendance).

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.

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