 The Oberwolfach Seminar on Combinatorial and Geometric Knot Theory will be held November 21 – 27, 2021. Deadline for applications is September 12,  2021. Organized by Lou Kauffman, Colin Adams and Sofia Lambropoulou, the goal is to enable an exchange of methods and ideas as well as exploration of fundamental research problems in the fields of knot theory and low-dimensional topology, from theory to applications.  Topics include a wide range of invariants of knots and links and related topics such as 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds, virtual knot theory, braids and knot algebras, quantum invariants, skein modules, link homology, quandles and their homology, hyperbolic knots and geometric structures of 3-dimensional manifolds. The seminar is for graduate students and postdocs no more than ten years past their PhD. It takes place at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in Germany. The Institute covers board and lodging. Travel expenses can be reimbursed up to 150 EUR on average per person. The number of participants is restricted to 25, currently fifteen in person and ten remotely, although that may change.  Please share this information with students and postdocs. Application information appears on the poster available at  https://www.mfo.de/occasion/2147b/www_view
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
