Second Announcement: THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL WORKSHOP IN GEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY


The next Workshop in Geometric Topology will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Thursday May 30 to Saturday June 1, 2019. The principal speaker will be Professor Ciprian Manolescu of the Department of Mathematics of the University of California, Los Angeles. He will give a series of three talks on the topic Triangulations, homology cobordism, and Floer theories:


Talk 1: Triangulations of manifolds

Talk 2: Seiberg-Witten theory and homology cobordism

Talk 3: Involutive Heegaard Floer homology


In addition to the main lectures, there will be contributed talks by participants as well as ample time for less formal interaction between participants.


NSF funds will allow the workshop to provide travel support for graduate students and

researchers without other means of support. The DEADLINE for travel support requests is April 15, 2019.


To register for the Workshop and to request travel support, go to the Workshop website (link below) and click “Registration”. (When you click the button to request financial assistance, a box will appear in which to provide an expense estimate.) To reserve housing at Sandburg Hall on the UWM campus, click “Housing”.

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