We would like to make the first announcement for the workshop

 

*G 2 Days*

 

Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th June 2012

 

King's College London and University College London

 

Organising committee:

 

Simon Donaldson and Mark Haskins (Imperial College),

 

Bobby Acharya and Simon Salamon (King's College London),

 

Jason Lotay (University College London)

 

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in G2 geometry as well as in other related areas. The meeting will also include introductory talks for researchers interested in learning about this exciting developing subject.

 

The workshop will focus on aspects of G2 geometry and related topics including:

 

- metrics with G2 holonomy

 

- calibrated submanifolds

 

- gauge theory

 

- connections with physics.

 

Confirmed speakers are:

 

Bobby Acharya (KCL), Simon Donaldson (IC), Anna Fino (Turin), Mark Haskins (IC), Andriy Haydys (Bielefeld), Nigel Hitchin (Oxford), Dominic Joyce (Oxford), Alexei Kovalev (Cambridge), Jason Lotay (UCL), Thomas Madsen (KCL), Johannes Nordström (IC), Simon Salamon (KCL), Thomas Walpuski (IC).

 

We would like to particularly encourage postdocs and graduate students to attend. Further information about the event can be found on the website

 

www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/~tbmadsen/G-2-days.html

 

Anyone interested in attending the workshop should register with Emily Balls ([log in to unmask]) by May 18th, providing their name, email address and institution.  Attendance is free but places will be limited, so we would like to encourage early registration.

 

Please feel free to circulate this announcement to colleagues with potential interest in the workshop.

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.
