26th ANNUAL GEOMETRY FESTIVAL University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104 Friday April 15 - Sunday April 17, 2011 The 26th Annual Geometry Festival will be held at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pennsylvania, from Friday afternoon April 15 to Sunday noon April 17, 2011. It will be in honor of Eugenio Calabi, on the occasion of his 88th birthday. Everyone is invited to the Geometry Festival, and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend. A continuing grant from the National Science Foundation makes it possible for us to partially reimburse the expenses of a large number of graduate students, post-docs and younger faculty who do not have access to travel funds from other sources. A substantial portion of this funding can be committed in advance, and experience shows that additional funds for this purpose are usually available after conference expenses have been met. The Geometry Festival website http://www.math.upenn.edu/geomfest will be up and running later this month. You can then also access it by going to the Penn Math Department home page at http://www.math.upenn.edu and clicking on the link to the Geometry Festival. Please visit the web site for the usual conference information, in particular: The list of speakers and detailed schedule, when available. Registration and financial support. The Saturday night banquet. Accomodations...we are holding blocks of rooms at several very nice hotels. A list of participants will be posted approximately one week before the beginning of the conference. Geometry Festival Organizing Committee: Ryan Blair, Jonathan Block, Chris Croke, Dennis DeTurck, Rob Ghrist, Herman Gluck, Jeff Jauregui, Jerry Kazdan, Rob Kusner, Radmila Sazdanovic, Julius Shaneson, Clayton Shonkwiler, James Stasheff, Shea Vela-Vick, Will Wylie, Wolfgang Ziller. Please direct inquiries to Herman Gluck at [log in to unmask] or call the Penn Math Department at 215-898-8627 and ask for Monica Pallanti. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
