I would like to draw your attention to an upcoming summer school for graduate students and postdocs in mathematics and physics.

PIMS Superschool on derived categories and D-branes
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
July 17-23, 2016

The curriculum of the Superschool will consist of approximately 20 hour-long lecture topics developing the foundational ideas for Derived Categories in Algebraic Geometry and D-branes in the topological B-model. The lectures will be delivered by the participants with guidance from the mentors, David Favero (University of Alberta) and Eric Sharpe (Virginia Tech). 

Some funding is available though the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, the University of South Carolina, and the National Science Foundation*. 

A webpage with the application form can be found at 
http://people.math.sc.edu/ballard/conferences/superschool16/
The deadline for applications is April 30. Attached is a poster. Please direct any questions to one of the organizers. Please share with interested persons. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Matthew Ballard, Charles Doran, and David Favero

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to almost 1500 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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
