Dear friends and colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a conference on New Developments in Quantum 
Topology, to be held June 3-7, 2019 on the campus of University of California, 
Berkeley.

The conference will feature a combination of pedagogical and research talks, on 
new developments at the interface of quantum field theory, string theory, and low-
dimensional topology.
Graduate students are especially encouraged to apply and attend!
We would appreciate your forwarding this information to those who might be 
interested.

The preliminary list of speakers includes:

Mina Aganagic
Jorgen Andersen
Francis Bonahon
Alberto Cattaneo
Francesco Costantino
Thomas Creutzig
Vladimir Fock
Rinat Kashaev
Nariya Kawazumi
Stavros Garoufalidis
Sergei Gukov
Kazuo Habiro  (to be confirmed)
Bertrand Patureau
Du Pei
Pavel Putrov
Lev Rozansky

This conference is supported by an NSF grant. We will be able to offer some 
funding for domestic travel and accommodation to senior graduate students and 
early career researchers.

To register and apply for funding, please fill out this form 
<https://goo.gl/forms/IjFY12teZCxG7uY52>. The deadline for funding is March 1, 
2019; and the deadline for registration is May 1, 2019.

We are committed to strengthening mathematics at all levels, and encourage 
graduate students, junior faculty, women, and minorities to participate.

Additional information (e.g. on travel and accommodation options) will appear at 
our website <tudor.faculty.ucdavis.edu/events/new-developments-in-quantum-
topology/> in the coming months.

Wishing everyone a prosperous 2019,
Tudor Dimofte, Nathan Geer, Kohno Toshitake, and Kolya Reshetikhin

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1600 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]
