FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

IV Latin American Conference on Lie Groups and Geometry

   http://sites.google.com/site/4liegroupsandgeometry/

Welcome to the homepage of the IV Latin American Conference on Lie Groups 
and Geometry to be held in the Center for Research in Mathematics (CIMAT) in 
Guanajuato, México, 27-31 August 2012. This is the fourth of a series of 
biannual congresses ---the first three were held in Campinas (Brazil), La Falda 
(Argentina) and Bogotá (Colombia) ---around Lie theory, geometry, topology, 
their interactions and applications.

The aim of the fourth Latin-American Congress on Lie Groups and Geometry is 
to disseminate the latest developments in the area, by both, senior and junior 
mathematicians. This meeting will bring together researchers from all over 
Latin-America, USA and Europe, working in diverse areas related by their use 
of Lie groups in their different facets: geometrical, topological, algebraic, etc. 
Graduate students and postdocs will especially benefit from the chance to 
interact with the senior mathematicians. The meeting will give a chance to 
geometers from many different countries to discuss and share their ideas.

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.
