The 35th Annual Geometry Festival will be held the weekend of April 3-5, 2020, at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, and will be hosted by the Department of Mathematics of Stony Brook University. The scientific program will consist of eight one-hour plenary talks, delivered by the following speakers: Simon Donaldson (Simons Center, Stony Brook, and Imperial College, London) Jean-Pierre Demailly (Institut Fourier, Grenoble) Akito Futaki (Yau Center, Tsinghua University) Tristan Collins (MIT) Jim Isenberg (University of Oregon) Melissa C.-C. Liu (Columbia University) Bing Wang (USTC) Joel Spruck (Johns Hopkins University) The first of these talks will be a Friday-afternoon colloquium by Joel Spruck, and will be dedicated to our revered late colleague Louis Nirenberg. Our social program will include a wine-and-cheese reception late Friday afternoon, and a Saturday-evening banquet at the Simons Center. Hotel space for the conference will be tight, and seating for the banquet will be limited. We therefore strongly urge prospective participants to visit the conference web-site http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/geomfest20/ immediately, in order to register for the conference, book a room at one of the conference hotels, and/or sign up for the conference banquet. We expect to have some travel money available after the conference to help defray the expenses of junior participants. Participants will be able to apply for these funds at the conference. However, we will unfortunately not be able to make specific commitments concerning such reimbursements in advance. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
