We are pleased to announce a conference Geometric structures, compactifications and group actions July 20-24, 2020 at Goethe-University Frankfurt Speakers currently include: • Thierry Barbot (Université d'Avignon) • Olivier Biquard (École normale supérieure) • David Calderbank (University of Bath) • Maciej Dunajski (University of Cambridge) • Bill Goldman (University of Maryland) • Rod Gover (University of Auckland) • Jun-Muk Hwang (Korea Institute for Advanced Study) • Misha Kapovich (UC Davis), TBC • Fanny Kassel (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques), TBC • Vladimir Matveev (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena) • Vincent Pecastaing (University of Luxembourg) • Beatrice Pozzetti (Universität Heidelberg) • Jan Swoboda (Universität München) • Anna Wienhard (Universität Heidelberg) • Michael Wolf (Rice University) The unifying background of the meeting will be rigid differential-geometric structures, such as conformal and projective structures. This refers both to structures locally modelled on homogeneous spaces and to their curved analogues. One topic will be applications of Cartan connections to locally homogeneous structures, their moduli spaces, and compactifications. A related topic will be conformal compactifications such as Poincare-Einstein manifolds, and analogues for other ambient geometries. Another topic will be group actions preserving such structures and their rigidity. Please visit the conference website at https://sites.google.com/view/geostruc2020/ for more information. Organizers: Andreas Cap, Charles Frances, Karin Melnick, Thomas Mettler, Katharina Neusser =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
