FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

        Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations
     University of California, Riverside, January 17-18, 2009

The Winter 2009 workshop in the program Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and Their
Representations will take place on the campus of the University of California,
Riverside, January 17 and 18, 2009.

Wee Liang Gan ([log in to unmask]) is the local organizer.

The workshops "Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations" meet at
various western United States campuses for one weekend every few months
during the academic year.  They are supported by a grant from the National
Science Foundation.  This workshop is supported in addition by the
University of California, Riverside.

The purpose of the program is to communicate results and ideas rather than
to deliver polished presentations.  The program also serves to acquaint
graduate students in this area with a range of researchers in Lie theory
and representation theory.

The lectures will be held in the Department of Mathematics located on the
second floor of Surge building. More details and updates will be posted as
they become available.

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.
