Geometric Group Theory at Park City: Preliminary announcement
A program in Geometric Group Theory will take place at the 2012 IAS/Park
City Mathematics Institute on July 1-21, 2012 in Park City, Utah.
The organizers are Mladen Bestvina, Michah Sageev, and Karen Vogtmann.
PCMI houses integrated programs for mathematicians at all levels. Typically
there are about 40-50 research mathematicians, 80 graduate students, 50
undergraduates, 30 undergraduate faculty and 80 high school teachers.
While planning is still in preliminary stages, Alex Lubotzky and William
Thurston have agreed to be nominated as Clay Senior Scholars for the program
and the following people have agreed to give graduate courses:
** Mladen Bestvina
** Emmanuel Breuillard
** Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace
** Tsachik Gelander
** Vincent Guirardel
** Misha Kapovich
** Michah Sageev
** Amie Wilkinson
** Dave Witte-Morris
Applications for the program will be available on the PCMI web site in
November of this year. Further information about the summer program in
general is also available there. The URL is: http://pcmi.ias.edu/

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.
