------------------------------------------------------------------ First Announcement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Connections in Geometry and Physics: 2011" (GAP 2011)
Date: May 13-15, 2011
Location: Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Each year, the GAP conference brings together researchers who work at the interface between geometry and physics, and
serves to increase Canada's presence and visibility in geometry within the international mathematical community. The format
of the conference will again combine three separate but related themes in geometry and physics.
***The year's themes are: advances in Floer Theory, geometric flows, and the AdS/CFT correspondence.***
Organizers: Marco Gualtieri (Toronto), Spiro Karigiannis (Waterloo), Ruxandra Moraru (Waterloo),
Rob Myers (Perimeter), McKenzie Wang (McMaster).

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.

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.
