SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT Yamabe Memorial Symposium: CURRENT TOPICS IN THE GEOMETRY OF 3-MANIFOLDS October 17-19, 2014 University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota Confirmed Speakers: Ian Agol, UCBerkeley Mladen Bestvina, Utah Jeremy Kahn, CUNY-Graduate Center Ursula Hamenst\"adt, Bonn Ciprian Manolescu, UCLA Mahan Mj, RKM Vivekananda University, India Vlad Markovic, Cambridge Stefano Vidussi, UCRiverside The Symposium will begin 3:00PM Friday, Oct. 17, and end by noon on Sunday, Oct. 19. Financial support is available especially for grad students, postdocs and young researchers. Further details including an application/registration form and housing information are at the Symposium web site, www.math.umn.edu/yamabe/ Symposium funds are available for support of participant expenses. Highest preference is given to younger scientists (grad students, postdocs, young faculty and researchers at most five years after Ph.D.), but all active mathematicians are eligible. Women and members of other underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. The registration/application form together with other information about the Symposium is at http://www.math.umn.edu/yamabe/ The deadline for applications for funding is Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Later applications may be considered if funds allow. Applicants who are members of the GEAR Network, or are graduate students or postdocs associated with GEAR members, may be able to use GEAR resources to facilitate attending the Symposium. For more information see: http://gear.math.illinois.edu/programs. The primary sponsor of the Symposium is the National Science Foundation with additional support from the UMN School of Mathematics and the Yamabe endowment. Organizers: Scot Adams, Anar Akhmedov, Bob Gulliver, TianJun Li, Al Marden, and Jiaping Wang. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
