We would be grateful if you could forward the following announcement to any
graduate students or early career mathematicians who may be interested in
this event. Thank you!

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to make the first announcement of the meeting:

      GEAR Junior Retreat

to be held at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor,
23 May - 1 June 2014.

The retreat website (including registration, funding and other details) is

http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~schapos/Junior_Retreat.html


A partial list of mini-courses, with their related topics, is:

• Martin Bridgeman: Geodesic flow, convex Anosov representations and the
pressure metric;
• David Dumas: Complex projective structures and their holonomy limits;
• Sergei Gukov: Geometry and physics of Higgs bundles and branes;
• Julien Marché: Representation spaces, Chern-Simons theory, and TQFTs;
• John Parker: Complex hyperbolic geometry and quasifuchsian groups;
• Richard Wentworth: Higgs bundles, harmonic maps and opers.

There will be also senior and junior talks on topics related to the mini
courses. The complete list of speakers will appear on the website.

Organizers:

       Dick Canary
       Steve Kerckhoff
       Michelle Lee
       Sara Maloni
       Andy Sanders
       Laura Schaposnik
       Anna Wienhard

The GEAR Junior Retreat is designed to build bridges between the different
interest groups in the network - and more broadly among mathematicians
working in areas relating to GEometric structures And Representation
varieties. The meeting is mainly aimed at PhDs, post-docs and junior
faculty members. During the ten days the following themes will be featured:

1. Dynamics on Moduli Spaces
2. Geometric and Analytical Group Theory
3. Geometric Structures and Teichmüller Spaces
4. Higgs Bundles
5. Hyperbolic 3-manifolds

During the mornings there will be 8 mini-courses on topics related to the
above themes, aiming to introduce the audience to current developments in
the area. Each mini-course will have an exercise session, as well as an
open problems discussion hour, during which experts in the field will
present and expand on open questions in each area. Registration is open to
all, refer to the website to register.

Best wishes,

 Michelle Lee, Sara Maloni, Andy Sanders and Laura Schaposnik
