First Announcement

TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL WORKSHOP IN GEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY

WHEN:  June 10-12, 2010
WHERE:  Colorado College (in Colorado Springs)
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER:  Robert Ghrist, University of Pennsylvania

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Twenty-Seventh Annual Workshop in Geometric Topology. This summer’s workshop will be held at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, CO on June 10-12. Principal speaker Robert Ghrist will give a series of three one-hour presentations. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to give 20-25 minute talks on their own work.

We are awaiting word from NSF on our application for funding. In the past, NSF funds have allowed us to cover part of the travel expenses for participants without other means of support. Graduate students working in geometric topology and geometric group theory are especially encouraged to apply for funding.


We hope to see you in June!

Principal Organizer: 
Fred Tinsley, Colorado College

Co-organizers:
Ric Ancel, UW-Milwaukee
Craig Guilbault, UW-Milwaukee
Dennis Garity, Oregon State University
Eric Swenson, Brigham Young University
Gerard Venema, Calvin College
David Wright, Brigham Young University

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 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. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. 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.

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