Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the 52nd annual Cornell Topology Festival, which will be held 
Friday, May 13th – Sunday, May 15th, 2016.  The program will feature several one-hour talks 
and much opportunity for conversation. Two introductory workshop lectures and about half of 
the one-hour talks will focus on topological combinatorics. The invited speakers will also 
participate in a panel discussion on recent developments in topology and related fields. Social 
activities will include a reception banquet on Friday May 13th, two working luncheons, and a 
picnic on Sunday.

Financial support will be available. Young researchers and underrepresented minorities are 
especially encouraged to apply. Travel grants will be available to young mathematicians, 
women and minorities.

Speakers will include:

Karim Adiprasito, Hebrew University
Laura Anderson, Binghamton University
Anders Björner, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)
Florian Frick, Cornell University
Patricia Hersh, North Carolina State University
Matthew Kahle, Ohio State University
Greg Kuperberg, University of California at Davis
Ciprian Manolescu, University of California at Los Angeles
Emmy Murphy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Bena Tshishiku, Stanford University
Günter M. Ziegler, Freie Universität Berlin

Updates are still in progress on the festival web page at 
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~festival/index.php  
The registration and support pages will be available early next week and a more detailed 
follow up announcement will follow.

We look forward to seeing you in Ithaca!

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.
