2007 Lehigh University Geometry/Topology Conference

October 6-8, 2007

Principal Speakers

* Richard Hamilton (tentative), Columbia University

* Gerhard Huisken, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics 
(Albert Einstein Institute)

* Nick Kuhn, University of Virginia

* Peter Ozsváth, Columbia University

* Yum-tong Siu, Harvard University

In addition, there will be parallel sessions of 40-minute contributed 
talks, divided roughly into Differential and Complex Geometry, Algebraic 
Topology, and Geometric Topology. Those interested in speaking should 
submit an abstract of their talk by September 7, 2007.

There is a $35 registration fee for all participants, which includes a 
banquet on Saturday evening. Off-campus hotel accommodations have been 
arranged at the nearby Comfort Suites hotel, (610) 882-9700, 
http://www.comfortsuitesbethlehem.com , but you must make reservations 
by September 7 in order to get the group rate (be sure to mention that 
you are with the LU Geometry/Topology group).  Housing will be provided 
at a partially subsidized cost for all participants.  Housing on Friday 
night and/or Monday night is possible.

The conference is supported by Lehigh University, and the NSF.  Limited 
travel support (up to $300) is available for recent PhD's, current 
graduate students and members of underrepresented groups.

More information will be available at the conference Web site as it 
becomes available. Please check back from time to time. You can register 
for the conference on the Web form there. The URL is:

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.
