Dear all,
We'd like to announce the second WiGGD working workshop and research retreat for women and other gender minorities in Groups, Geometry and Dynamics which will take place next summer July 16 - 22, 2023 in Ashton ID (near Yellowstone). We're soliciting applications from junior participants to join our small working groups. Preference will be given to participants close to finishing their Ph.D., new postdocs or those at teaching colleges. We hope you would consider applying or/and helping us recruiting potential participants.
Our aim is to have groups of 4-5 women with 2 co-leaders per group working on specific projects. The application deadline is July 15, 2022 and groups will be decided shortly afterwards. Participants will meet regularly with their groups on Zoom throughout the year to get to know each other and to prepare for the research retreat next summer. Project titles and leaders are listed below but for more details and to register please see https://math.ou.edu/~jing/wiggd2023<https://math.ou.edu/~jing/wiggd2020/>
1. Representations of knot groups and associated invariants
(Michelle Chu and Kate Petersen)
1. Geometry of right angled Coxeter groups
(Anne Thomas, Tullia Dymarz)
1. Projection complexes and coarse cubulation
(Johanna Mangahas and Sahana Balasubramanya)
1. Finiteness properties of groups
(Genevieve Walsh and Kasia Jankiewicz)
1. Stretch factors in Out(F_r) and finite state automata
(Catherine Pfaff and Rylee Lyman)
As part of this workshop, we will also organize some talks/discussions about common questions/issues experienced often in our career, so if there is something you would like to hear about, feel free to let us know as well. Of course we will also have time to experience the beautiful environment where the retreat will be held.
If you have any questions, please let us know. We hope to hear from you soon!
Best,
Jing, Sara and Tullia

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 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.
You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.
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.
