Dear colleagues,

We are glad to inform you that we are organizing a meeting on

Higgs bundles and related topics

which will take place at

Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné in Nice (France)

from Monday May 29th to Friday June 2nd, 2017.

The official web page with all updated informations, as well as a registration form is now 
online:

https://higgs-nice.sciencesconf.org

The conference aims at bringing together researchers working in the numerous fields 
involving Higgs bundles and giving account on recent progress made in topics like the 
geometry and topology of their moduli spaces, Teichmüller theory, surface group 
representations and non-abelian Hodge theory. We plan to have a rather limited number of 
talks and leave space for informal discussions.

Here is the list of the speakers which have confirmed so far:

Jorgen Andersen
David Baraglia
Indranil Biswas
Tsao-Hsien Chen
David Dumas
Vladimir Fock
Tamas Hausel
Victoria Hoskins
Adrian Langer
Qiongling Li
Marina Logares
Takuro Mochizuki
Motohico Mulase
Pranav Pandit
Laura Schaposnik
Richard Wentworth
Kang Zuo


Limited financial support is available, especially for PhD students and Post-Docs who are 
strongly encouraged to apply.
We kindly ask you to forward the present announcement to your colleagues.

The scientific committee

François Labourie
Christian Pauly

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]
