Please encourage advanced graduate students to apply to SMS 2011. FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT We invite applications for the 50th edition of the "Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures 2011''. This summer school, directed mainly at advanced graduate students and beginning researchers, will be held from June 27 to July 8, 2011 on the campus of the University of Montreal. The topic this year is "Metric measure spaces: geometric and analytic aspects''. In recent decades, metric-measure spaces have emerged as a fruitful source of mathematical questions in their own right, and as indispensable tools for addressing classical problems in geometry, topology, dynamical systems and partial differential equations. The purpose of the 2011 summer school is to lead young scientists to the research frontier concerning the analysis and geometry of metric-measure spaces, by exposing them to a series of mini-courses featuring leading researchers who will present both the state-of-the-art and the exciting challenges which remain. SPEAKERS: L. Ambrosio (SNS, Pisa), M. Barlow (UBC), D. Burago* (Penn State), T. Coulhon (Cergy-Pontoise), G. David (Paris-Sud), P. Haj?asz (Pittsburgh), V. Kapovitch (Toronto), Y.-H. Kim (UBC), P. Koskela (Jyväskylä), R. McCann (Toronto), E. Milman* (Technion), Y.Ollivier (CNRS, Paris-Sud), F. Otto (Bonn), K.-T. Sturm (Bonn), P.Topping* (Warwick) * to be confirmed TO APPLY: Interested students should apply before March 31st via the website http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/~sms/index_en.html Financial support is available. Partner Institutions: The SMS 2011 has as main partners the CRM, the Fields Institute, the PIMS, and the MSRI. It also receives the support of the ISM, the Université de Montréal, Concordia University and the CMS. For more information please see http://www.dms.umontreal.ca/sms/ Scientific organizing Committee: Galia Dafni (Concordia University), Robert McCann (Toronto University) and Alina Stancu (Concordia 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.
