Many problems and conjectures in the subject have recently been resolved. Incompressible surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds have played an important role in this research. Minimal surfaces have been used as well: embedded incompressible surfaces are isotopic to least area minimal surfaces. The conference will focus on various problems in the intersection of hyperbolic geometry and the minimal surface theory. We believe that a joint meeting of specialists in minimal surface theory and hyperbolic geometry will encourage collaboration to study the global geometry of minimal surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds. The topics of the conference will include minimal surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds, min-max techniques in hyperbolic geometry, systoles in expanding families of hyperbolic manifolds. *Registration and Financial Support* Please visit the conference website to register or request financial support. The organization of the conference has a limited number of fellowships for young researchers and students. Ph.D. students and young researchers are specially encouraged to apply. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
