  • September 9 to November 9, 2013 Research Programme on Geometry and Dynamics of Integrable systems (CRM, Barcelona)
    This research Programme wants to focus on the Geometrical and the Dynamical aspects in the study of integrable systems. We want to specially stress out the following topics in the study of integrable systems: 1- Connections of several aspects showing up in the geometry, topology and dynamics of integrable systems in symplectic manifolds such as singular aspects of integrable systems, Symplectic Topology of integrable systems, Integrability criteria and obstructions to integrability, Connection with Geometric Quantization and integrable systems in contact and Poisson manifolds. 2- Study of geodesic flows, their integrability and non-integrability: methods and examples. 3- Applications to Mathematical Physics and classical Differential Geometry. Planned activities: 1-Advanced Course on Geometry and Dynamics of integrable systems. From September 9 to 14, 2013 2-Conference: Integrability, Topological obstructions to Integrability and Interplay with Geometry. From September 16 to 20, 2013 3-"Qdays in Barcelona" a workshop on Quantization to take place in October 2013.

  • Wednesday 20th March 2013 UCL Geometry and Topology Day II (University College London)
    To help celebrate the formation of the new UCL Geometry and Topology group, the London Mathematical Society are funding two half-day sessions of geometry-themed talks. The second UCL Geometry and Topology Day will be contact/symplectic-themed, with speakers Chris Wendl (UCL), Jonny Evans (UCL) and Hansjoerg Geiges (Koeln) on Wednesday 20 March in Room 505 in the Maths Department at UCL (25 Gordon St). The talks will be followed by a reception and dinner to which all are welcome. If you are interested in attending the event please send an email to j.d.evans@ucl.ac.uk by Wednesday 6th March.

  • August 26-30 LMS Short Course "Topology in Low Dimensions" (Durham University, UK)
    Low-dimensional topology has seen a proliferation of new invariants and techniques over the last decade or so which are intimately interrelated. The invariants include Khovanov homology, Floer homologies, and various gauge theories. In this Short Course we aim to present a broad selection of these ideas, covering the construction, the properties, and what can be done with them. The course will take place over five days and will consist of three lecture series of five hours each, supplemented by problem classes. Matthew Hedden (Michigan State) will present a course on Heegaard-Floer homology. Jacob Rasmussen (Cambridge) will speak about Khovanov homology and `categorification' more widely. Finally, Chris Wendl (UCL) will speak about intersection theory of J-holomorphic curves and applications in contact 3-manifolds.
