Geometry and topology of symplectic 4-manifolds

April 24-26, 2015, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA

Organizing Committee: R. Inanc Baykur (University of Massachusetts), Weimin Chen (University of Massachusetts) and Daniel Ruberman (Brandeis University)

Goal: The aim of this 3-day conference is to bring together active researchers in geometry and topology of symplectic 4-manifolds, ranging from leading experts to recent PhDs and graduate students, and provide a panorama of the field through a variety of talks and discussion sessions.

Preliminary list of speakers and invited participants

David Gay (University of Georgia)
Robert Gompf (University of Texas, Austin)
Tian-Jun Li (University of Minnesota)
Emmy Murphy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Jongil Park (Seoul National University)
Steven Sivek (Princeton University)
Laura Starkston (University of Texas, Austin)
Michael Sullivan (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
Nathan Sunukjian (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
Stefano Vidussi (University of California, Riverside)
Chris Wendl (University College London)
Weiwei Wu (CRM / Université de Montréal)
Sai-Kee Yeung (Purdue University)

Registration and support: Information about registration, support, travel, and housing may be found on http://people.math.umass.edu/~baykur/Symplectic4manifoldsConference.html, and we ask all participants to register.

Partial funding is available to support the participation of graduate students and postdocs.  Funding requests should be made at the registration link by March 20, 2015. We particularly encourage graduate students, recent PhDs, and mathematicians in underrepresented groups working in geometric topology to apply for funding.

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.
