Founded in 1989, the Texas Geometry and Topology Conference (TGTC) has been held spring and fall ever since, a total of 67 times to date. The TGTC was conceived as a mechanism by which both the educational and the research atmosphere of the community of geometers and topologists could be enhanced. In order to accomplish this, the TGTC is organized so as to accomplish three specific goals:

(1) The TGTC is committed to bring researchers of national and international stature to Texas to discuss their research and to interact with mathematicians from Texas and surrounding states.

(2) The TGTC provides the community of geometers and topologists from Texas and surrounding states a convenient forum to meet and share mathematics on a regular basis. The geographic region is so large that few reasonable alternatives exist. The conference strongly encourages both individual research and productive cooperative efforts between schools.

(3) The TGTC is committed to the strengthening and enrichment of the mathematics personnel base. Graduate students, junior faculty, women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged to participate.

This Conference is supported by the National Science Foundation. Among the speakers of the current 68th edition of the conference are

Ian Anderson, Utah State University ; Robert Bryant, Duke University; Jarosław Buczyński, Institute of Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN); David Fisher, Rice University; Mikhail Gromov, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU and IHES, (to be confirmed); Shelly Harvey, Rice University; Dmitri Pavlov, Texas Tech University; Jinmin Wang, Chinese Academy of Science.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to interactions between p -adic geometry and chromatic homotopy theory. In particular, we will focus on the use of period maps and perfectoid methods to study the moduli stack of formal groups. We hope to use these methods to further our understanding of chromatic and transchromatic phenomena in stable homotopy and to see how the chromatic picture motivates and hints at possible novel results in p -adic geometry.

The main topics of the workshop are:

The p-adic geometry of the moduli stack of formal groups and its role in chromatic homotopy theory. Perfectoid methods in p-adic geometry. Period maps and generalized Rapoport--Zink spaces. This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form no later than August 15, 2024. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply.

Before submitting an application, please read the description of the AIM style of workshop.

The goal of the conference is to bring together international experts and young researchers working in foliations theory, diffeomorphism groups, 3-manifold topology, bounded cohomology, and 1-dimensional dynamics to share their insights and expertise and to foster collaborations that will lead to progress on important problems in both areas. Furthermore, to navigate the impact of the recent advances in each of these areas on the others, there will be minicourses to introduce young researchers to some of the major recent advances in these areas and there will be problem sessions and informal learning groups to come up with new problems within the scope of current techniques and long term projects between the subfields.

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.
