First Announcement

THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL WORKSHOP IN GEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY

WHEN:  June 12-14, 2014
WHERE:  University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER: Kevin Whyte, University of Illinois at Chicago

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Thirty-first Annual Workshop in Geometric Topology. This summer’s workshop will be held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on June 12-14. Principal speaker Kevin Whyte will give a series of three one-hour presentations on “Infinite groups in geometric topology”. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to give 20-25 minute talks on their own work.

NSF funds will allow us to cover a portion of the travel expenses for participants without other means of support. Graduate students working in geometric topology and geometric group theory are especially encouraged to apply for funding. If you plan to request funding, please contact Craig Guilbault.


Details will follow in the next announcement; and a conference website is in the works. We hope to see you in June!

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.
