Geometric Structures and Representation Varieties NSF Research Network Senior RetreatMonth: August 2012 Date: August 6--10 Name: Geometric Structures and Representation Varieties NSF Research Network Senior Retreat Location: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois. DescriptionThe first GEAR Network Retreat will be held August 6-10, 2012. The retreat is designed is to build bridges between mathematicians working in areas relating to Geometric structures and representation varieties. Each of the five days of the retreat will feature one of the following themes: Higgs bundles, geometric structures and Teichmüller spaces, dynamics on moduli spaces, special representations and geometric structures, hyperbolic 3-manifolds. There will be two 50-minute lectures in the morning, with the goal of surveying the state-of-the-art, followed by 3 or 4 shorter research lectures in the afternoon. A tentative list of survey speakers includes R. Canary (Michigan), D. Cooper (UCSB), D. Dumas (UIC), N. Dunfield (UIUC), O. Garcia-Prada (CSIC, Madrid), F. Labourie (Paris-Sud), T. Pantev (Penn), J. Smillie (Cornell), A. Wienhard (Princeton) and A. Wilkinson (Chicago). Information
