We are delighted to announce that applications are open to participate in NCNGT 2023, a mixed (a)synchronous conference running online from Wednesday, June 21 to Friday, June 30.

NCNGT showcases the work of early career researchers in geometric topology.  During the conference, participants will watch pre-recorded talks and ask questions via Discord, followed by live Zoom events like plenary talks, problem sessions, office hours, and social teas. 

This year we have five topic groups:
Profinite and residual methods around geometric group theory
Discrete subgroups of Lie groups
Concordance
The topology of contact manifolds and Legendrian submanifolds
Heegaard Floer homology, related invariants, and their applications

We will also feature plenary talks by Michelle Chu, Ty Ghaswala, and Tye Lidman. 

Applications to participate are due Wednesday June 14. We also encourage all participants, especially graduate students, to submit a Postcard from a Geometric Topologist.

For more information, please see the conference website at www.ncngt.org or email the organizers at [log in to unmask]

We hope to “see” you there!

Best,
Martin Bobb, Tam Cheetham-West, Sally Collins, Siddhi Krishna, and Allison N. Miller

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 mathematicians worldwide. We strongly recommend that announcements are mostly or all in plain text (i.e. without html formatting, which reportedly can create unexpected results on different devices and email systems), with a link provided to a nicely formatted web page.

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 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.
