This is the second announcement for the 18th UK-Japan Winter School in Mathematics: Singularities, Symmetries and Submanifolds.  The winter school will take place on 4-7 January 2017 at University College London.

Registration is now open with a deadline of December 1st: http://onlinestore.ucl.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&deptid=129&catid=164&prodid=1644

The topic this year is the interface between symplectic topology and geometric analysis, including mirror symmetry and calibrated submanifolds.  The winter school provides a forum for both young and established researchers, particularly from the UK and Japan,  to meet, exchange ideas and to learn about current developments in an active area of mathematics from leading experts in the field.
 
There will be three minicourses, a variety of research talks and a poster session for PhD students to present their work.  Detailed information will be available on the website: http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucahjde/ukjap/index.htm. 
 
The minicourses will be suitable for graduate students and the speakers will be:
 
-Dominic Joyce (Oxford)
-Ailsa Keating (Columbia/Cambridge)
-Kazushi Ueda (Tokyo)
 
Research talk speakers will include:
 
-Costante Bellettini (Cambridge/UCL)*
-Simon Donaldson (Imperial College/Stony Brook)
-Kota Hattori (Keio)
-Hiroshi Iriyeh (Ibaraki)
-Kirill Krasnov (Nottingham)*
-Yanki Lekili (King’s College London)
-Reiko Miyaoka (Tohoku)
-Takeo Nishinou (Rikkyo)
-Kaoru Ono (RIMS, Kyoto)
-Alex Ritter (Oxford)
*to be confirmed
 
There is some funding available to help support attendance at the Winter School, particularly for UK-based PhD students: please indicate on your registration form if you wish to be considered for funding.  If you are interested in giving a graduate student poster or if you have any other queries please contact Jonny Evans ([log in to unmask]) or Jason Lotay ([log in to unmask]). 
 
On behalf of the organizing committee:
 
-Jonny Evans (UCL)
-Akito Futaki (Tokyo)
-Jason Lotay (UCL)
-Reiko Miyaoka (Tohoku)
-Yoshihiro Ohnita (Osaka City & OCAMI)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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]
