There will be a one day Mid-Atlantic Topology Seminar at University of Virginia on Saturday, October 26.

 

Speakers will be:

 

Maria Basterra (University of New Hampshire)

Mona Merling (University of Pennsylvania)

Dylan Wilson (University of Chicago)

W. Stephen Wilson (Johns Hopkins University)

 

Talks will be held at Clark Hall on the UVA campus, likely two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

 

This seminar is the third such regional conference (following one here in 2015, and one at JHU in 2016), with a goal of bringing together the mid-Atlantic algebraic topology community.  It will also serve as one of the inaugural activities for the NSF RTG grant that the Topology and Geometry group at UVA recently received.

 

If you are planning to come, we encourage you to book accommodation early.  The seminar date falls in the midst of Charlottesville's annual 4 day film festival.  So one might combine attending the seminar talks and enjoying a film or two!  Information about this is here: http://virginiafilmfestival.org, though the film schedule only gets announced in mid September.  

 

Charlottesville is very pretty in October. Our restaurants will still have outdoor seating, and it is prime time for detouring through the nearby Blue Ridge mountains.  Using public transportation, we are accessible by plane (airport CHO) or train (e.g. two or three Amtrak trains each day from the northeast corridor).

 

We hope you can come!

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]
