Dear Moderators, could you please announce the following? Many thanks! -- Adam Sikora FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT Dear all, We invite mathematicians just beginning their research careers—those who are close to finishing their doctorates or have recently finished— to become part of Mathematics Research Communities by participating in the following workshop at Snowbird Resort in Utah. June 5– 11, 2016 - Character Varieties: Experiments and New Frontiers There has been intense interest and activity in the study of Character Varieties (aka moduli spaces of representations) in recent years. The study of these spaces intersects a wide range of topics from mathematics and physics. This focused workshop will emphasize examples, computations, and visualizations. Topics to be explored: (1) Quantization, (2) Tropicalization, and (3) Arithmetic Structure. Please see http://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/mrc-16 for more information. To apply please follow instructions here: http://mathprograms.org/db/programs/406/apply Deadline for applications is March 1, 2016. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to participate. Sincerely, The Organizers: Sean Lawton, George Mason University Christopher Manon, George Mason University Adam Sikora, State University of New York at Buffalo =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
