First Announcement:

Mathematical Relativity, Scalar Curvature and Synthetic Lorentzian Geometry, Fields Institute, the week of October 3 - 7, 2022. 
 
Description: The synthetic approach towards understanding Ricci curvature in the Riemannian setting has led to groundbreaking results over the past quarter century.  Recent advances towards developing a synthetic version of sectional and Ricci curvature in the Lorentzian setting and of Scalar curvature in the Riemannian setting is highly promising and should lead to deeper understanding of Einstein's theory of gravity.  Identifying the relevant notions of convergence for spacetimes is another topic of current interest encompassed by this workshop. Potential participants include mathematicians and theoretical physicists with diverse approaches to non-smooth limits of space-time manifolds to foster communication and to forge a new and unifying perspective on the topic. 

We encourage everyone interested in attending and/or proposing a short contributed talk to register. 
 
As part of the workshop, Prof. Fay Dawker will also be delivering the Distinguished Lecture Series on Discrete Lorentzian Geometry: as non-smooth as one can get.

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]


The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
