We are delighted to announce this conference, to be held at ICTP, Trieste (Italy), August 8-12, 2022. The conference will cover several areas of current research, including low-dimensional topology, gauge theory, and Floer homology in all its flavors. It is partly intended to celebrate the mathematical contributions of Tomasz Mrowka. The conference will be preceded by a summer school for graduate students (the week before). 

Speakers: (* = to be confirmed) David Gabai, Lothar Goettsche, Larry Guth, Jen Hom, Cole Hugelmeyer, *Peter Kronheimer, Francesco Lin, Robert Lipshitz, Paolo Lisca, Ciprian Manolescu, Gordana Matic, Rafe Mazzeo, Maggie Miller, Emmy Murphy, *John Pardon, Lisa Piccirillo, Juanita Pinzon Caicedo, Jake Rasmussen, *Daniel Ruberman, Andras Stipsicz, Zoltan Szabo, *Cliff Taubes, Donghao Wang, Claudius Zibrowius.

Applications are open now, and the deadline is FEBRUARY 28, 2022. You can find the application page linked to from the main event web page

A bit of practical information (some of which is still preliminary):

WHO CAN APPLY? The application process is open, but due to space limitations at ICTP, we may have to be selective. Prospective participants will be informed of the outcome of the application as soon as possible.

HOW ABOUT COVID AND REMOTE PARTICIPATION? We encourage in-person participation, but in view of current uncertainties, the conference is designed as hybrid, and allows remote participation if necessary. Note that remote participants have to go through the same application process as in-person ones.

WHERE WILL PARTICIPANTS STAY? ICTP has on-campus housingthat participants can book at a reasonable price. Alternatively, ICTP will be able to assist with finding a hotel in the town of Trieste.

HOW ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT FOR HOUSING AND TRAVEL? Unfortunately, for most conference participants, we will NOT beable to provide any kind of reimbursement. One exception are participants from developing countries, for whom ICTP will contribute a limited amount of resources (this is part of ICTP's mission of encouraging the worldwide development of mathematics and physics). The other exception are graduate students staying on from the summer school, where we have a small amount of funding for travel expenses from the Clay Mathematics Institute. We have a pending application for funding from the National Science Foundation, which if approved would provide additional resources for a small number of US-based graduate students and postdocs.)

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 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. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. 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.

You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.

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]
