The Hamilton Mathematics Institute, Trinity College Dublin
on
Interactions between three and four manifolds
Sponsors: Boston College, and the Hamilton Mathematics Institute.
This is the second announcement for the 11th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop to be held a the Hamilton Mathematics Institute (HMI), in Trinity College Dublin Ireland. The workshop will consist of a two day mini-course August 25-26, followed by a three day lecture series, August 27-29, 2015.
This year's topic for the workshop is Interactions between three and four manifolds.
Funding and Sponsors:
The workshop is co-sponsored by Boston College, the HMI and has applied to the NSF for support. Funding available for graduate students and junior researchers wishing to attend the mini-course and workshop. A limited amount of funding is also available for both junior and senior researchers wishing to attend the workshop.

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.
