Dear All,
 

We are pleased to announce that the NSF will provide some funding for the event

Homotopy Theory in the Ecliptic: Chromatic, Equivariant, and Motivic Mathematics: A 
Conference in Honor of Doug Ravenel's 70th Birthday and the Total Solar Eclipse, which will 
take place August 18-21, 2017 at Reed College, Portland Oregon.

Preference for funding will be given to early career researchers with attention to 
underrepresented groups. To register, please visit:

To be considered for funding you must register by 

May 31, 2017

Registration by this date is also necessary to guarantee participation in the Total Eclipse 
Excursion.



This four day event will consist of three days of research talks in chromatic, equivariant, and 
motivic homotopy theory (August 18-20) and an organized excursion to see the total solar 
eclipse on August 21. There will be a banquet on Saturday, August 19. If you want to see the 
eclipse, please plan accordingly!

Lodging:

Participants are responsible for booking their own lodging. Please make reservations as soon 
as possible as Oregon is one of the hottest destinations for the eclipse. Participants are eligible 
for the Reed College rate at any of the hotels listed here:

http://www.reed.edu/accommodations.html


The conference will provide transportation from downtown to campus, so you may want to 
select a hotel in that area, e.g., the Heathman. There are also affordable hotels in the 
Convention Center area. For options closer to Reed campus, we recommend searching on sites 
like airbnb.com. 


The list of confirmed speakers is:

Tobias Barthel, University of Copenhagen
Irina Bobkova, University of Rochester
Jeremiah Heller, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Mike Hill, University of California, Los Angeles
Michael Hopkins, Harvard University
Dan Isaksen, Wayne State University
Haynes Miller, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Andrew Salch, Wayne State University
Vesna Stojanoska, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Kirsten Wickelgren, Georgia Institute of Technology
W. Stephen Wilson, Johns Hopkins University
Carolyn Yarnall, University of Kentucky

We hope to see many of you there.

The organizers:
Agnes Beaudry
Irina Bobkova 
Safia Chettih
Dan Dugger

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.
