Fourth Yamabe Memorial Symposium, at the University of Minnesota in
Minneapolis.  The topic this time is "Geometry and Analysis".
Confirmed speakers are:

             Simon Brendle, Stanford University
              Alice Chang, Princeton University
     Gerhard Huisken, Albert Einstein Institute, Potsdam
             Ngaiming Mok, Hong Kong University
               Leon Simon, Stanford University

                      Financial Support

We have funding from the National Science Foundation to defray 
workshop expenses for a number of participants, with highest 
preference given to younger scientists (grad students, postdocs, 
young faculty or researchers at most five years after Ph.D.), 
although all active people are eligible.  Women and minorities 
are especially encouraged to apply.  The application deadline 
for full consideration for funding is Thursday, August 7, 2008.

Those who have resources available from their own grants are requested
to rely on such resources.   Applications received later may also be
considered if funds allow.

If you are applying for financial assistance, you should send a
brief CV and have one letter of recommendation, addressing your
qualifications, sent to [log in to unmask] or by hard copy to
Yamabe Committee, Tianjun Li, School of Mathematics, University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455.  The recommendation letter is 
optional for people more than three years after receiving a Ph.D.

Registration for the workshop can be done on the web at
http://www.math.umn.edu/yamabe/reg.html, or by returning the
registration form below to the organizers by email at

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. 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.
