2013 Lehigh University Geometry and Topology Conference

Dates: May 24-26, 2013

Second Announcement

The conference will start at 11:00 am on Friday, May 24. The first talk 
will begin at 11:00 Friday, and the last talk will end before 3:00 
Sunday, May 26.

Principal Speakers

Mark Behrens, (MIT): A Lie algebra model for unstable v_n -periodic homotopy
Hugh Bray, (Duke):  On Wave Dark Matter and the Geometry of Galaxies
Natasa Sesum, (Rutgers): Yamabe flow, its ancient solutions and 
singularity formation
Mu-Tao Wang, (Columbia): A Minkowski inequality and a Penrose inequality
Ben Weinkove, (Northwestern): The Chern-Ricci flow
Detang Zhou, (UFF of Brazil, MIT): Smooth compactness for f-minimal surfaces


In addition, there will be parallel sessions of contributed talks, 
divided roughly into Differential and Complex Geometry, Algebraic 
Topology, and Geometric Topology.  Those interested in speaking should 
submit an abstract of their talk by May 10, 2013.

There will be a $35 registration fee for all participants.  Continental 
breakfast will be provided Friday and Saturday mornings. On Saturday 
evening there will be a banquet at no additional cost for registered 
participants. On-campus housing is available at subsidized rates.

The conference is supported by Journal of Differential Geometry and 
Lehigh University, and additional support is anticipated from the NSF. 
Limited travel support is available, and the priority will be given to 
recent PhD's, current graduate students and members of underrepresented 
groups. Participants interested in being considered for this support 
should complete the request for travel support form no later than May 
10, 2013.

More information will be available at the conference Web site as it 
becomes available. Please check back from time to time. You can register

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.
