The 2017 Georgia International Topology Conference http://t.uga.edu/2TT will take place May 22 - June 2, 2017 at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. This will be the eighth in a series of octennial conferences at the University that started in 1961.

We ask all participants to register at the website, where you can also apply for funding. Graduate students and other early career mathematicians, especially those from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in mathematics, are encouraged to apply for funding. The conference is supported by a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (DMS-1719320) which will allow us to fund the participation of many graduate students and recent Ph.D.’s. The deadline for initial consideration for funding is April 7.

Confirmed speakers: Ian Agol, Juliette Bavard, Mladen Bestvina, Tom Church, Fernando Coda Marques, Yasha Eliashberg, Mikhai Ershov, John Etnyre, Steven Frankel, Stefan Friedl, Dave Gabai, David Gay, Eugene Gorsky, Eli Grigsby, Kristen Hendricks, Ko Honda, Helmut Hofer, Jennifer Hom, Michael Hutchings, Jeremy Kahn, Peter Kronheimer, Tao Li, Robert Lipshitz, Kathryn Mann, Dan Margalit, Rob Meyerhoff, Tom Mrowka, Emmy Murphy, David Nadler, Andy Putman, Jacob Rasmussen, Alan Reid, Rachel Roberts, Paul Seidel, Zoltan Szabo, Cliff Taubes, Karen Vogtmann, Andy Wand, Mehdi Yazdi

Scientific advisory committee: Ian Agol, Yakov Eliashberg, David Gabai, Dusa McDuff, Tomasz Mrowka, Peter Ozsvath, Peter Teichner, Karen Vogtmann

Local organizers: David Gay, Jean Gutt, Will Kazez, Gordana Matic, Juanita Pinzon, Adam Saltz, Mike Usher, Weiwei Wu

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