The annual Lehigh University/JDG Geometry/Topology Conference in 2015 
will be held May 22-24, 2015, at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, 
Pennsylvania. This time the focus will be primarily on algebraic 
topology, celebrating the 70th birthday of Don Davis.

The conference will start at 11:00 am on Friday, May 22. The first talk 
will begin at 11:00 Friday, and the last talk will end before 3:00 
Sunday, May 24.

Principal Speakers

     Gunnar Carlsson, Stanford University and Ayasdi Corp.
     Michael Farber, Queen Mary University of London,
     Paul Goerss, Northwestern University,
     Kathryn Hess, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne,
     Mike Hopkins, Harvard University,
     Doug Ravenel, University of Rochester,
     Dennis Sullivan, Stony Brook University and City University of New 
York,

In addition, there will be parallel sessions of contributed talks, 
divided roughly between Homotopy theory, Abstract algebraic topology, 
Applied algebraic topology, and Differential and geometric topology. 
Those interested in speaking should submit an abstract with their 
registration..

There will be a $35 registration fee for all participants. Continental 
breakfast will be provided Saturday and Sunday 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 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 1, 2015.

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.
