Dear Colleagues, The 41st Annual Workshop in Geometric Topology will be held in-person June 13-15, 2024 at Calvin University, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The featured speaker will be Maggie Miller of the University of Texas - Austin, who will give a series of three one-hour lectures on the topic of Surfaces in 4-manifolds Participants are invited to contribute talks of 20 minutes. Contributed talks need not be directly related to the topic of the principal lectures. Talks will be selected in a way that provides a balanced collection of topics and respects the historical traditions of the workshop. The deadline for talk requests is May 20, 2024. Applicants will be notified whether their talk has been accepted soon after. Full details, including registration, abstract of the principal lectures, housing, funding, and information about submitting titles and abstracts for contributed talks, can be found at the conference website at https://sites.google.com/view/workshop2024/home The Workshops in Geometric Topology are a series of informal annual research conferences that have been held since 1984. The workshops currently rotate among Calvin University, Colorado College, Oberlin College, Texas Christian University, and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Each workshop features a series of three lectures by one principal speaker, providing a substantial introduction to an area of current research in geometric topology. Participants are invited to contribute short talks on their own research, and there is ample time set aside each day for informal interactions between participants. Funding for the workshop series is currently provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation (DMS-2350373). The deadline to apply for funding is April 20, 2024. Workshop Organizers: Fredric Ancel, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Jack Calcut, Oberlin College Greg Friedman, Texas Christian University Craig Guilbault, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Molly Moran, Colorado College Nathan Sunukjian, Calvin University Frederick Tinsley, Colorado College Gerard Venema, Calvin University Please contact Nathan Sunukjian ([log in to unmask]) if you have any questions. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 mathematicians worldwide. We strongly recommend that announcements are mostly or all in plain text (i.e. without html formatting, which reportedly can create unexpected results on different devices and email systems), with a link provided to a nicely formatted web page. 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 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.
