NSF-CBMS conference: "Topological and Geometric Methods in Quantum Field
Theory."
http://www.math.montana.edu/cbms/
31 July - 4 August 2017, Bozeman, Montana. 

Expert Participants.
Dan Freed (principle lecturer)
Agnes Beaudry
Robert Bryant
Sam Gunningham
Max Metlitski
David Morrison
Andy Neitzke

Abstract.
This event will be framed around a series of 10 somewhat self-contained
lectures by Dan Freed concerning recent work in stable homotopy theory for
predictive results in topological phases of matter.  Other key experts will
facilitate supplemental discussion sessions with the intent of offering
background, context, and examples.  The expertise of these participants will
represent differential geometry, quantum field theory, and algebraic topology.  
This event will be especially designed for graduate students and recent
graduates, as well as experienced researchers aiming to enhance their pool
of workable knowledge.  

Registration.
Please submit applications through the event webpage:
http://www.math.montana.edu/cbms/ .
Deadline for applications is 19 March 2017; there is no registration fee.
Funding is available for this event, especially for graduate students and
recent graduates.   
There are NSF funds to fully support 30 participants, notably graduate
students and recent graduates; these funds will cover food, board, and
travel (within the United States).  Application for such funding is part of
the registration process.  

Location.
Bozeman, Montana, is an especially splendid place to be over these months of
the summer.  There are a host of trails near to town, and there is a modest,
though active, downtown district.

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]
