ICERM: Braids Reunion Workshop
Monday, July 15 through Friday, July 19, 2024
Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM)
Providence, Rhode Island

We would like to invite you to a conference all about braids. In 2022, ICERM hosted the Braids Semester Program which brought together braid enthusiasts from many areas of algebra, geometry and topology. This reunion workshop aims to bring back mathematicians who participated in the program and invite new researchers to join the community for an event that will rekindle the interactions between fields where the subject of braid groups naturally arises. The workshop will have a variety of activities, with research talks, problem sessions, and dedicated work time for collaboration. Special emphasis will be placed on highlighting the work of early-career mathematicians and providing space to develop new collaborations.

Registration through ICERM Cube portal can be accessed via the following link: https://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw-24-braids/

Invited speakers for the conference include:

Orsola Capovilla-Searle (University of California, Davis)
Rima Chatterjee (University of Cologne)
Sergei Gukov (California Institute of Technology)
Keiko Kawamuro (University of Iowa)
Marc Kegel (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
Siddhi Krishna (Columbia University)
Christine Ruey Shan Lee (Texas State University)
Jose Simental Rodriguez (Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics)
Hannah Turner (Georgia Institute of Technology)
Yvon Verberne (Georgia Institute of Technology)

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]
