Subject: 2007 Lehigh University Geometry/topology conference, second announcement From: "David L. Johnson" Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:32:09 -0400 2007 Lehigh University Geometry/Topology Conference (2nd anncmt) October 6-8, 2007 Principal Speakers * Richard Hamilton, Columbia University * Gerhard Huisken, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) * Nick Kuhn, University of Virginia * Peter Ozsváth, Columbia University * Yum-tong Siu, Harvard University In addition, there will be parallel sessions of 40-minute contributed talks, divided roughly into Differential and Complex Geometry, Algebraic Topology, and Geometric Topology. Those interested in speaking should submit an abstract of their talk by September 7, 2007. There is a $35 registration fee for all participants, which includes a banquet on Saturday evening. Note: Housing must be arranged by Friday, September 7!! Off-campus hotel accommodations have been arranged at the nearby Comfort Suites hotel, (610) 882-9700, http://www.comfortsuitesbethlehem.com , but you must make reservations by September 7 in order to get the group rate (be sure to mention that you are with the LU Geometry/Topology group). The conference will pay for the cost of the room on Saturday and Sunday evening, based on double occupancy. Please arrange with someone to share your room -- each room will have two beds -- or contact us to match you with a random roommate, or you can of course pay for the "other half" of the room charge. Housing on Friday night and/or Monday night is possible, but cannot be subsidized. The conference is supported by Lehigh University, and the NSF. Limited travel support (up to $300) is available for recent PhD's, current graduate students and members of underrepresented groups. More information will be available at the conference Web site as it becomes available. Please check back from time to time. You can register for the conference on the Web form there.
