Spring 2015 Redbud Geometry / Topology Conference 

WHEN:  April 3-5, 2015
WHERE:  Oklahoma State University

SPEAKERS:

John Etnyre, Georgia Tech
Dave Futer, Temple University
Matt Hedden, Michigan State University

The Spring 2015 Redbud conference will be held at Oklahoma State University 
April 3–5, 2015. The Redbud conference is a regional conference in topology and 
geometry with participants from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State 
University, the University of Arkansas, and elsewhere.

Friday 3rd of April will be a graduate student workshop, with introductory talks 
on contact topology and hyperbolic geometry. The main conference will be held 
on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of April.

We anticipate funding that will allow us to cover a portion of the travel expenses 
for participants without other means of support. Graduate student, recent 
Ph.D.s, and mathematicians in underrepresented groups working in geometric 
topology are especially encouraged to apply for funding. 

The conference website is http://math.okstate.edu/redbud

We hope to see you in April!

Local organizers:

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.
