The Sixth Triennial Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium will be held at Yale University on October 23-26, 2014. This conference is the sixth in a series of triennial colloquia devoted to the mathematical legacy of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers. The core heritage is in geometric function theory, quasiconformal mapping, Teichmüller theory and Kleinian groups, hyperbolic manifolds, and partial differential equations including Schramm/Stochastic-Loewner-Evolution/Equations. Today we see the influence of Ahlfors and Bers on algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, dynamics, probability, geometric group theory, number theory and topology. Confirmed Plenary speakers: Stergios Antonakoudis Mladen Bestvina Jon Chaika David Dumas Peter Haissinsky Jeremy Kahn Sarah Koch Nick Makarov Kasra Rafi Wendelin Werner The mathematical community is warmly invited to register for the conference at our website, https://sites.google.com/site/ahlforsberscolloquium/ The conference will include parallel sessions, and participants are invited to contribute a talk. Please include a title and abstract with your registration. We hope to have sufficient funding to subsidize expenses, particularly for early-career participants and participants from underserved groups. See you in New Haven in October! Yair Minsky (on behalf of the organizing committee: Kari Astala, Ara Basmajian, Mario Bonk, William Goldman, Ursula Hamenstadt, Michael Kapovich, Steve Kerckhoff, Irwin Kra, Vlad Markovic, Yair Minsky, Alan Reid, Rubi Rodriguez, Steffen Rohde, Anna Wienhard) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
