The Sen Conjecture and Beyond University College London June 19-23, 2017 http://ckottke.ncf.edu/senworkshop Novel analytical techniques have been recently developed to address questions regarding asymptotic behavior of and L^2 harmonic forms on geometric moduli spaces, in particular the moduli spaces of magnetic monopoles. The purpose of the Summer School and Workshop is to introduce and disseminate these methods while also surveying recent developments on the geometry and physics of singular monopoles. There will be 4 mini-lecture series (subject to confirmation of titles): Pierre Albin (UIUC): L^2 Cohomology, Stratified Spaces and Related Topics Daniel Grieser (Oldenburg): Introduction to Analysis on Manifolds with Corners Richard Melrose (MIT): Hilbert Schemes, Harmonic Forms and the Vafa-Witten Conjecture Andy Royston (Texas A&M): Supersymmetric Gauge Theory, Monopole Moduli Space and "No Exotics" as a Generalised Sen Conjecture In addition, there will be research talks by selected participants. Confirmed participants include: Dean Baskin (Texas A&M) Roger Bielawski (Hannover) Sergey Cherkis (Arizona) Anda Degeratu (Frieburg) Laura Fredrickson (Stanford) Jesse Gell-Redman (Melbourne) Derek Harland (Leeds) Peter Hintz (UC Berkeley) Eugenie Hunsicker (Loughborough) Nicholas Manton (Cambridge) Rafe Mazzeo (Stanford) Frederic Rochon (UQAM) Jan Swoboda (Munich) Xuwen Zhu (Stanford) Organizers: Karsten Fritzsch (UCL) Chris Kottke (New College of Florida) Michael Singer (UCL) Some funding is available for speakers and early career researchers. Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to participate. We ask all participants to register by April 15, 2017 at the following link: http://ckottke.ncf.edu/senworkshop/registration.html Further inquiries may be directed to [log in to unmask] This event is sponsored by the EPSRC. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
