Dear Colleagues, We hope you will join us for the 55th annual Cornell Topology Festival, which will be held Friday, May 10th - Sunday, May 12th, 2019. The program will feature several one-hour talks and much opportunity for conversation. The meeting will begin with workshop talks aimed at introducing some of the main themes of the conference. The invited speakers will also participate in a panel discussion on recent developments in topology and related fields. Social activities will include dinner Friday, May 10th, two working luncheons, and a picnic on Saturday. Financial support towards travel and accommodation expenses may be available. Early-career mathematicians and those from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Speakers will include: Jonathan Barmak, Universidad de Buenos Aires Ruth Charney, Brandeis University Steve Ferry, Rutgers University and Binghamton University Dave Futer, Temple University Anthony Genevois, Universitè d’Orsay Chris Kapulkin, University of Western Ontario Alexander Kupers, Harvard University Mona Merling, Johns Hopkins University Alan Reid, Rice University Inna Zakharevich, Cornell University For more information and to register for the festival, please visit: http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~festival/ Deadline to register for the conference is April 30th. Deadline to request funding is March 31st (tentative date of e-mail notification of funding decisions is April 8th). Please also take advantage of the group rates on local hotels, which we have reserved for the festival. Information on reserving hotel room blocks can be found at http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~festival/current/housing.php. The earliest deadline for group rates is March 26th. General inquiries should be addressed to mailto:[log in to unmask] Topology Festival Organizers Department of Mathematics Cornell University =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
