Floer homologies and topology of 4-manifolds University of Massachusetts, Amherst April 8-9, 2017 The aim of this 2-day conference is to bring together active researchers in Floer homology and topology of 4-manifolds, and provide a panorama of the field through a variety of talks and discussions. There will be six 1-hour long talks, accompanied by four 1/2-hour long talks by PhD students, and ample time for discussions in between. Conference website: http://people.math.umass.edu/~baykur/FloerHomologyConference.html Registration link: https://goo.gl/forms/oSnZXJIQZkcxEtxa2 Confirmed speakers John Baldwin (Boston College) Aliakbar Daemi (Simons Center) Josh Greene (Boston College) Henry Horton (Indiana University) Jianfeng Lin (MIT) Arunima Ray (Brandeis) Liam Watson (Université de Sherbrooke) Biji Wong (Brandeis) Michael Wong (Columbia) Boyu Zhang (Harvard) Organizers: R. Inanc Baykur (UMass Amherst), Weimin Chen (UMass Amherst) and Daniel Ruberman (Brandeis University) Registration and funding: We ask all the participants to register at this link: https://goo.gl/forms/oSnZXJIQZkcxEtxa2. If you have troubles with viewing or entering information into the linked form, contact [ruberman at brandeis dot edu]. Funding is available for conference participation. Support requests should be made at the registration link by March 16, 2017. We particularly encourage graduate students and recent PhDs to apply. We have reserved rooms for all the invited speakers and participants coming from outside of Western Massachusetts at the UMass Hotel and Conference Center.

Daniel Ruberman Brandeis University =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
