The next Lehigh University Geometry and Topology conference at Lehigh University will be in 2015, probably in late May or early June. In 2014 the JDG Conference will be held at Harvard University.
2013 Lehigh University Geometry and Topology Conference
Dates: May 24-26, 2013
The conference will start at 11:00 am on Friday, May 24. The first talk will begin at 11:00 Friday, and the last talk will end before 3:00 Sunday, May 26.
- Mark Behrens, MIT, A Lie algebra model for unstable vn-periodic homotopy
- Hugh Bray, Duke University, On Wave Dark Matter and the Geometry of Galaxies
- Natasa Sesum, Rutgers University, Yamabe flow, its ancient solutions and singularity formation
- Mu-Tao Wang, Columbia University, A Minkowski inequality and a Penrose inequality
- Ben Weinkove, Northwestern University, The Chern-Ricci flow
- Detang Zhou, UFF of Brazil, visiting MIT, Smooth compactness for f-minimal surfaces
Principal Speakers
In addition, there will be parallel sessions of contributed talks, divided roughly into Differential and Complex Geometry, Algebraic Topology, and Geometric Topology.
Abstracts of Talks
Abstracts of talks are now available. Please let me know of any mistakes or ommissions.
Schedule of Talks
Schedule of talks is now available. We presume this will be the final schedule, but do check with the posted schedules upon arrival for any last-minute changes.
There will be a $35 registration fee for all participants. Continental breakfast will be provided Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday evening there will be a banquet at no additional cost.
The conference is supported by Journal of Differential Geometry and Lehigh University, and additional support is anticipated from the NSF. Limited travel support is available, and the priority will be given to recent PhD's, current graduate students and members of underrepresented groups. Participants interested in being considered for this support should complete the request for travel support form no later than May 1, 2013.
More information will be available at this site as it becomes available. Please check back from time to time.
Travel Information We will update bus schedules between Bethlehem and the Newark Airport, and between Bethlehem and Phildelphia. In addition, there are several area and campus maps.
