Smoky Cascade Geometry Conference
March 19--21, 2014
University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee

The conference will focus on the relationship between global metric geometry and topology, including methods of Riemannian geometry as well as Alexandrov geometry and other singular geometric spaces.

The invited speakers are:

Stephanie Alexander (U Illinois, Urbana Champaign)
Igor Belagradek (Georgia Tech)
Robert Bryant (Duke U)
Ailana Fraser (U British Columbia)
Mohammad Ghomi (Georgia Tech)
Carolyn Gordon (Dartmouth U)
Chikako Mese (Johns Hopkins)
Natasa Sesum (Rutgers U)
Guofang Wei (UC Santa Barbara)
Frederick Wilhelm (UC Riverside)


Travel support is available for participants (funds are pending from the NSF). Priority for funding will be given to graduate students and recent PhDs. Women mathematicians and members of other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Priority for funding will be given to those who register and request support before March 1, 2014.

The Smoky Cascade Geometry Conference immediately precedes the AMS Sectional Meeting at the University of Tennessee, and the organizers are also organizing a special session in Metric Geometry and Topology during the Sectional Meeting. Participants in the Smoky Cascade Geometry Conference may wish to reserve flights in order to stay for both conferences. 

For more information regarding the AMS special session, a link is provided below.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
