Dear topologists and geometers,

This is the second announcement for the Spring Midwest Topology Seminar at
the University of Chicago, which will take place May 9 and May 10.

We propose a broader range of topics, mixing geometry and topology.  The
list of speakers is

Alejandro Adem
Thomas Church
Hans-Werner Henn
Michael Hopkins
Sarah Koch
Peter May
Amie Wilkinson

Funding:

There will be funding available for graduate students and new postdocs to
cover travel expenses. To ask for funding, you must register by April 8.


Lodging:

The Hyatt in Hyde Park will be holding rooms for participants at a special
rate until April 8. Please reserve your room before then. It may be hard
to find housing close to the University of Chicago after that date. See
their website at the link below for more information:

Registration:

We would appreciate if everyone who plans to attend registers. This helps
us both get enough coffee and will help us obtain further NSF funding for
the Midwest Topology Seminar.

We hope to see you there,

Agnes Beaudry, Marc Stephan and Inna Zakharevich

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.
