• June 08, 2009 - RTG Graduate Summer School "Geometry of Quantum Fields and Strings"

  
  Location:  University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
  Dates:  June 8-20, 2009
  Website:  http://www.math.upenn.edu/rtg09bc

  The University of Pennsylvania Research Training Group in Mathematical Physics and the Math/Physics Research Group are organizing a RTG Graduate Summer School "Geometry of quantum fields and strings". This two-week workshop will serve as a boot camp for training young researchers who are currently enrolled in mathematics or physics graduate programs. The students accepted to the workshop will be trained in current exciting research directions interfacing algebraic geometry, quantum field theory, geometric representation theory, algebraic topology, and string theory.

  Interested students should apply by filling the online application form. Support is available for students from U.S. institutions. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2009. Any questions and inquiries should be directed at the workshop organizers at rtg09-c@math.upenn.edu.

• April 17, 2009 - 24th Annual Geometry Festival, in honor of Detlef Gromoll

  Location: Stony Brook University; Stony Brook, New York
  Dates: Friday, April 17 - Sunday, April 19, 2009
  Website: http://www.math.sunysb.edu/geomfest09/

  This year's festivall will be held in honor of DETLEF ROMOLL. A continuing grant from the National Science Foundation makes it possible for organizers to partially reimburse the expenses of a large number of graduate students, post-docs and younger faculty who do not have access to travel funds from other sources.
  

  Speakers at this year's festival are: Jeff Cheeger, Marcos Dajczer, Karsten Grove, Wolfgang Meyer, Gabriel Paternain, Christina Sormani, and Guofang Wei.

• March 13, 2009 - Beginning Faculty Session: MAA Southeastern meeting

  The MAA Southeastern Section meeting will be held March 13-14 at Belmont College, Nashville, TN. One of the sessions is "Presentations by Beginning Faculty". They encourage beginning faculty to attend and give a 15-minute talk on topics such as their research, an expository, an aspect of teaching or working with students, or an interesting problem/solution or application of a mathematical idea.

  Speakers should submit a title and abstract to David Stone and to Program Chair Jim Vandergriff. Complete information is available at http://campus.belmont.edu/maa-se/
