We are excited to announce the 2016 GAP (Geometry and Physics) Conference, focusing on 
"Beginnings and Ends of Moduli Spaces".  It will be held at the Fields Institute in Toronto 
from May 17 to 20.

The speakers are:

Davide Gaiotto (Perimeter Institute)
Eric Korman (University of Texas at Austin)
Alexander Soibelman (University of Southern California)
Hartmut Weiss (Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet Kiel)
Dan Xie (Harvard University)

There will be a particular focus on new results concerning the geometry and physics of 
Hitchin systems.  Each speaker will give two one-hour talks designed to be accessible to 
graduate students.  The schedule will allow significant time for questions and discussions.

The conference description, schedule, and registration form can be found here:

http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/15-16/gap

Limited funding for students and postdocs is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  If 
you wish to attend, please register by May 10.  Applications for funding are due on May 2.  
If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to [log in to unmask]

We hope to see you at the workshop in May!

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to almost 1500 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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]


The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
