An international Conference on Metric Geometry and Applications, dedicated to the memory of Professor Jianguo Cao, will be held at the University of Notre Dame on March 14-17, 2013 in celebration of his achievements in mathematics.
The conference will bring together experts as well as junior researchers and graduate students in the broad area of metric geometry. This includes but is not limited to comparison geometry, Alexandrov geometry, applications of metric geometry to geometric analysis and complex geometry. The arrival day for the conference is Wednesday, March 13 and the meeting will end at noon, Sunday, March 17, 2013.
The list of principal speakers:
1. Stephanie Alexander (University of Illinois, Urbana)
2. Werner Ballman (University of Bonn and Max Planck Insititue, Germany)
3. Gerard Besson (University of Grenoble, France)
4. Dimitri Burago (Pennsylvania State University)
5. Shu-Cheng Chang (National Taiwan University )
6. Jeff Cheeger (Courant Institute, NYU)
7. Tobias Colding (MIT)
8. Christopher Croke (University of Pennsylvania)
9. Fuquan Fang (Capital Normal University, China)
10. Jian Ge (Max Planck Institute, Bonn, Germany)
11. Xiaochun Rong (Rutgers University)
12. Gang Tian (Princeton University)
13. Sophia Vassiliadou (Georgetown University)
14. Paul Yang (Princeton University)
15. Jiaping Wang (University of Minnesota)
The conference is supported by the Department of Mathematics and the National Science Foundation. For more information on the conference, please check the conference website:

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.
