Description
Calling all topologists and geometers!
We, the Topologically Allied Conference Organizers of IU Bloomington (TACOs, for short), are pleased to announce that the 2025 meeting of the Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference will be held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana! This is the 22nd meeting of GSTGC, and it will be held from Friday, April 11 to Sunday, April 13. If you are unfamiliar, GSTGC is a conference designed by and for graduate students who are interested in topology and geometry. The conference will bring over 120 graduate students from all around the country to Bloomington, and no matter what your interests are, there will surely be both a talk that you’ll find interesting and someone else who shares those interests! There is also an opportunity for graduate students to give talks, either expositional or research (see the registration for details). If you have questions feel free to email us at [email protected]. You can find the conference website here: https://topologyandgeometry.iu.edu/gstgc25/.
Registration for the conference is now open, with a deadline of January 15, 2025. You can register at: https://topologyandgeometry.iu.edu/gstgc25/registration.html
Our plenary speakers are:
- Sarah Koch (University of Michigan)
- Mark Powell (University of Glasgow)
- Inna Zakharevich (Cornell University)
In addition to our plenary speakers, we are also excited to announce the following 6 early-career speakers:
- Agustina Czenky (University of Southern California)
- Beibei Liu (Ohio State University)
- Anibal M. Medina-Maradones (University of Western Ontario)
- Maggie Miller (The University of Texas at Austin)
- Carmen Rovi (Loyola University Chicago)
- Roberta Shapiro (University of Michigan)
Combined, these nine speakers’ research areas cover a wide sweep of mathematics, including: topology of 4-manifolds, Bers-Teichmüller theory, scissor congruence, hyperbolic geometry, hyperbolic manifolds, topological quantum field theories, Kleinian groups, limit sets, links in 3-manifolds, applied and computational topology, homotopy theory, surgery theory, K- and L- theory, manifold theory, quantum algebra, Heegaard Floer homology, geometric group theory, and mapping class groups. There will also be at least 28 short graduate student talks to round out the weekend.
We hope to see you in Bloomington!

2025 Talbot Workshop: Homological Stability Mentored by: Alexander Kupers and Nathalie Wahl Dates: May 26 - June 1, 2025 Location: TBA, but somewhere in the US
Application link: https://forms.gle/KaStAZurFQ5LDB1z5 Application deadline: Feb 2, 2025 More details can be found on the website: https://sites.google.com/view/talbotworkshop/home
What: The Talbot Workshop is a one week learning workshop for roughly 35 graduate students and a few postdocs. Most of the talks will be given by participants, and will be expository in nature.
Topic description: Many groups and spaces come in families depending on a parameter: configuration spaces depend on the number of points considered, mapping class groups of surfaces on the genus of the surface. For such families, it often happens that the homology stabilizes as this parameter goes to infinity. Moreover, computing the stable homology frequently turns out to be easier because other tools can be used. In recent years, combining homological stability results with stable computations has become a powerful tool in algebraic topology and robust machinery for proving homological stability theorems has been developed. In this workshop we aim to introduce the participants to this circle of ideas.
Outline: This workshop will explain how to prove homological stability results through examples, such as symmetric groups, configuration spaces, mapping class groups, and others, and how to use them in conjunction with stable computations. The homological stability machines that we will cover are Quillen’s classical inductive approach and a more recent approach using Ek-algebras. Both machines have as input connectivity results for simplicial complexes and we will also see how such results are proved.
Background: The workshop will be aimed towards graduate students with a basic understanding of algebraic topology, including spectral sequences and classifying spaces.
Talbot is meant to encourage collaboration among young researchers, with an emphasis on graduate students. We also aim to gather participants with a diverse array of knowledge and interests, so applicants need not be an expert in the field -- in particular, students at all levels of graduate education are encouraged to apply. As we are committed to promoting diversity in mathematics, we especially encourage women, minorities, and underrepresented groups in mathematics to apply.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email the organizers at talbotworkshop (at) gmail (dot) com.

[New]Summer School on Modern Tools in Low-Dimensional Topology
Meeting Type:
Contact: Ciprian Manolescu
Description
The summer school is aimed at graduate students in low-dimensional topology. The goal is to make students familiar with the novel techniques in the field that have led to recent advances in our understanding of four-dimensional manifolds.
The program will consist of four mini-courses of 5 lectures each, all accompanied by discussion sessions:
- Skein lasagna modules (by Mike Willis and Melissa Zhang)
- Real Seiberg-Witten theory (by Hokuto Konno and Ian Montague)
- Kontsevich invariants from configuration spaces (by Jianfeng Lin and Danica Kosanovic)
- Lefschetz fibrations and closed exotic 4-manifolds (by Andras Stipsicz and Zoltan Szabo)

Meeting Type: graduate student workshop
Contact: Aaron Landesman
Description
This is a graduate student workshop on discrete groups in topology and algebraic geometry. This includes topics like fundamental groups of varieties and mapping class groups. This is the second week of a three week long thematic program. The conference the following week may also be of interest to graduate students.
[New]Quasiweekend III
Meeting Type: Conference
Contact: Nageswari Shanmugalingam, Pekka Pankka, Kirsi Peltonen, Sylvester Eriksson-Bique, Mari Snipes
Description
Conference Quasiweekend III - Twenty years on collects together experts, from all fields of mathematics, using quasiconformal methods, especially in complex dynamics, geometric function theory, geometric group theory, analysis on metric spaces. Previous conferences in this series, Quasiweekend and Quasiweekend II – Ten years after, took place in 2005 and 2015, respectively, in Helsinki. With Quasiweekend III we celebrate mathematical legacy of Juha Heinonen -- initiator of this conference series -- in the broad field of quasiconformal analysis.
