Dear Colleagues,

The 2012 Midwest Geometry Conference will take place May 12-13, 2012 at the University of Oklahoma, located in Norman, Oklahoma.

Whereas the Midwest Geometry Conference had been an annual meeting since its founding in 1991 until 2007, this 2012 conference is committed to revive the Midwest Geometry Conference.

Everyone is welcome! Minorities, women, persons with disabilities, graduate students, recent Ph.D.s, postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty, and high school math teachers are especially encouraged to participate.

There will be no registration fee. Lectures will take place in Physical Sciences Building. There will be a conference dinner on Saturday night, and there will be no fee to attend.

 

The conference will highlight recent developments and new research directions in a number of areas that include (but are not limited to): p-harmonic geometry, minimal varieties, geometric flows, complex and Riemannian geometry, conformal geometry, geometry of submanifolds, convex geometry, stochastic geometry, algebraic geometry, geometric measure theory, metric geometry, partial differential equations, several complex variables, Finsler geometry, mathematical physics, and related problems.

There will also be contributed talks.

 

The Midwest Geometry Conference has traditionally provided at least limited support for its participants, including

graduate students, and we expect this to be the case with the 2012 conference as well.

 

The Midwest Geometry Conference 2012 is supported by:

 

        The National Science Foundation(Pending)

        The University of Oklahoma Research Council(Pending)

        The University of Oklahoma College of Arts and Sciences(Pending)

The web page contains hotel information and a registration form allowing those interested in giving a contributed talk to submit its title and abstract. We'll continue updating the page.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Norman.

 

Best regards,

 

Shihshu Walter Wei,

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
