Dear colleagues, I will be leading the (virtual) PCMI Undergraduate Faculty Program (UFP) on motivic degree and Milnor numbers August 2-6 this summer. The program will explore singular curves and (quadratic refinement of) their Milnor numbers. Applications are due by April 5; see details and apply here: https://www.ias.edu/pcmi/programs/pcmi-2021-undergraduate-faculty-program The UFP serves faculty with a strong interest in undergraduate teaching and research, and I hope that participants will leave with a window into the evolving area of quadratic enumerative geometry and with ideas for mentoring undergraduate projects. Please feel free to share this announcement with colleagues who may be interested in the program! Best wishes, Kyle ps Note that PCMI is also running motivic-flavored virtual undergraduate and graduate summer schools this year. UFP participants will be invited to join the USS as well. https://www.ias.edu/pcmi/pcmi-2021-undergraduate-summer-school https://www.ias.edu/pcmi/programs/pcmi-2021-graduate-summer-school -- Kyle Ormsby Associate Professor and Chair Department of Mathematics Reed College http://people.reed.edu/~ormsbyk/ Pronouns: he/him =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. 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.
