Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to participate in the workshop: New
Methods for Zimmer’s Conjecture, to be held January 22-26, 2018 at the Institute for Pure
and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Some additional details about the workshop are outlined below. The workshop webpage is
at:
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/workshops/new-methods-for-zimmers-conjecture
We especially encourage younger mathematicians to participate in the workshop. We ask
senior faculty to forward this invitation to postdocs and graduate students who would be
interested in the workshop.
IPAM provides funding for hotels for participants. We hope to obtain additional funding to
partially cover travel for younger participants. IPAM encourages participants requesting
funding to apply by Monday, November 27, 2017.
Sincerely,
Aaron Brown (University of Chicago),
Mikael De La Salle (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon),
Alex Eskin (University of Chicago, Mathematics),
David Fisher (Indiana University),
Sebastian Hurtado Salazar (University of Chicago),
Federico Rodriguez Hertz (Pennsylvania State University),
Ralf Spatzier (University of Michigan),
Amie Wilkinson (University of Chicago)
GOALS: The workshop will focus on recent developments in the Zimmer program and future
directions of research. We aim to gather participants from various fields including
hyperbolic dynamics, homogeneous dynamics, operator algebras, and rigidity theory.
WHEN and WHERE: The workshop will be held Monday through Friday, January 22-26,
2018 at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Los
Angeles.
FUNDING: We expect IPAM will provide funding for accommodations for all participants.
However, you must complete the application form for IPAM to provide funding for
accommodations. We hope to obtain additional funding to partially cover travel expenses
for younger participants.
REGISTRATION and APPLICATION FOR FUNDING: It is necessary to register for
participation and pay a registration fee. You may simply register if you are not requesting
funding from IPAM. If you would like funding from IPAM for your hotel, you must complete
the application form. The recommended deadline is Monday, November 27, 2017. More

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.
