Homotopy Theory and Applications Conference

University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 3-5, 2009

Format

The intent is to bring together builders and users of homotopy theory for an exchange of problems, ideas, and intuition. There will be eight or nine 50-minute talks, to help ignite conversations.

The meeting is planned around a public lecture by Mike Hopkins on 3rd April 2009, as part of the annual Rowlee Lecture Series at UNL.

The conference begins at 8:45 AM on 4th April, a Saturday, and will end at 12:30 PM on 5th April. Tentative Schedule.

Please email Srikanth if you would like to attend. We should be delighted if you can be present for Hopkins' lecture as well.
