Dear Colleagues,
we are pleased to announce the meeting
"TOPOLOGY OF MANIFOLDS: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW DIMENSIONS"
to be held at the MATRIX research institute in Australia from January 7 to 18, 2019.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together different areas of research motivated by high and low dimensional topology, in order to bring about new insights and methods in the study of manifolds.
The meeting consists of a two-week program structured as follows:
The first week (January 7-11, 2019) will be a workshop with three lecture series by:
- Wolfgang Lück (University of Bonn)
- Peter Teichner (MPIM)
- András Stipsicz (Rényi Institute)
The second week (January 14 - 18, 2019) will be a conference. The current list of confirmed speakers is:
- Bea Bleile (University of New England)
- Mark Powell (Durham University)
- Jessica Purcell (Monash University)
- Robert Schneidermann (CUNY)
- Jae Choon Cha (Postech)
- Abigail Thompson (UC Davis)
- Ana Lecuona (Aix-Marseille Université)
- Daniel Kasprowski (University of Bonn)
The schedule will be planned to allow ample time for discussion and collaboration among participants.
This workshop is supported by funds from the National Science Foundation. Partial travel support is available. All interested participants should apply via the online form below and indicate a request for financial support if needed. Priority will be given
to graduate students, recent PhDs, and underrepresented minorities.
To apply please fill out the following form:

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1600 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.
