Dear Colleagues, 
The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences will host a 5 day 
workshop on:

Group Actions - Classical and Derived

Dates: June 13 - 17, 2016

http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/15-16/group-actions/

We hope that the workshop will reflect the theme of symmetry in a wide variety of settings, including symplectic geometry and topology, toric manifolds, representation varieties, algebraic stacks, and surgery theory.

This is the FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT:  the registration and funding applilcation forms can be found on the conference webpage. Those needing support for local expenses or travel are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Priority for funding will be given to graduate students, recent PhDs and underrepresented groups.

Further details, including a list of confirmed participants and the schedule of talks, will be posted later on the webpage.  The number of talks in the program will be limited to allow time for informal discussions, but anyone may propose a talk by sending an email to one of the organizers. 

best wishes, 

Ian Hambleton

On behalf of the Organizers:

Alejandro Adem (UBC),  Jesper Grodal (Copenhagen)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
