Workshop: Questions in geometry arising in the sciences.
April 26-27 2012, Texas A&M University

This workshop features lectures by algebraic geometers
who either work on applied questions, or have been paired
with a researcher outside pure mathematics, to present algebraic
geometry questions arising in their areas.  Areas represented
include pattern recognition, statistics, signal processing,
computer science and quantum information theory.

Organized by J.M. Landsberg and Joe Harris

Speakers are paired with scientists (or themselves if they work on applications)
Confirmed speakers and their scientists:

H. Derksen  (U. Michigan)  is paired with S. Lauritzen (Oxford Statistics)
C. Raicu (Princeton U.) is paired with D. Gross (ETH, Physics)
L. Oeding (UC Berkeley) is paired with  R. Bardeli (Fraunhofer IAIS, pattern
recognition)
J. Huizenga (Harvard U.) is paired with  P. Comon (U. Nice, engineering)
A. Kumar (MIT)
H. Cohn (Microsoft)

This workshop is  in conjunction with Joe Harris' Maxson lectures and with
the annual TAGS (Texas Algebraic Geometry Symposium) to be held here at A&M
. The workshop is partially supported by IMA.

Some support for travel and lodging is available. Apply via the TAGS webpage.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

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]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. 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 announcement 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.

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