Virginia Conference on Algebraic Topology ---------------------------------------- Monday, June 11, 2012 - Friday, June 15, 2012 University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia Website: http://math.virginia.edu/topology/UVATopologyConference.html There is information on our website including some travel and hotel info, a rough schedule, and a registration page. People interested in proposing a talk, and/or being considered for funding, are asked to register by May 11. We will be filling out the remaining part of our schedule soon after that. Please feel free to email me ([log in to unmask]), or any of the other organizers, if you have questions. Yours, Nick Kuhn Topics of the conference * Interactions between functor calculus, operad theory, higher category theory, and periodic homotopy. * Generalized homology and cohomology operations and their connections to commutative ring theory, number theory, and group cohomology. Plenary Speakers: Natalia Castellana (University Autonoma of Barcelona) Michael Ching (Amherst College) Teena Gerhardt (Michigan State University) John Greenlees (University of Sheffield) Andrey Lazarev (University of Leicester) Kathryn Lesh (Union College) Jacob Lurie (Harvard University) Jack Morava (Johns Hopkins University) Charles Rezk (University of Illinois) Birget Richter (University of Hamberg) Lionel Schwartz (University of Paris 13) Antoine Touze (University of Paris 13) Bruno Vallette (University of Nice) Organizing committee: Greg Arone, University of Virginia Bill Dwyer, Notre Dame University Mike Hill, University of Virginia Nick Kuhn, University of Virginia Kathryn Lesh, Union College Victor Turchin, Kansas State University Funding for the conference comes from NSF Focused Research Group grant 0967649 "The Calculus of Functors and the theory of Operads: Interactions and Applications". Additional funding is being provided by UVA Department of Mathematics and the UVA College of Arts and Sciences. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
