PIMS Symposium on the Geometry and Topology of Manifolds

29 June - July 10, 2015 Earth Sciences Building University of British Columbia

This conference will gather mathematicians working on a broad range of topics in the geometry and topology of manifolds and provide an opportunity for researchers and graduate students to learn about new connections. The program will include a combination of expository and research talks, as well as time for informal contacts and exchanges of ideas.

PROPOSED THEMES

• geometric structures and analysis on manifolds (e.g Ricci flow, Einstein metrics, special holonomy)

• geometric group theory and 3-manifolds; geometric topology (e.g surgery theory, cobordism and stability of diffeomorphisms)

• smooth 4-manifolds and gauge theory; symplectic geometry and topology

CONFIRMED PLENARY SPEAKERS

ORGANIZERS: Boris Botvinnik (Oregon), Ian Hambleton (McMaster), Alexei Kovalev (Cambridge) and Dale Rolfsen (UBC)
