Dear fellow topologists,

As previsously annouced, the 5th instance of Topology Between The Waves (aka BTW5) will occur from the 9th to the 14th of March 2025. Like last year we'll be in the Station Biologique of Besse, birth place of Nicolas Bourbaki (not too far from Clermont-Ferrand).

This year's topic is a theorem by Giroux called the "Giroux correspondence". It relates open-book decompostions of 3-manifolds (topological structures) and contact structures (geometrical structures). We'll follow the proof strategy of Licata--Vertesi (on the tight case).

This winter school is aimed at PhD students and young postdocs (as well as our favorite senior researchers!). The idea is to try to go through this proof together, after have learned about the necessary background. Participants are therefore encourage to give a talk (or to help preparing one).

At the moment there are 15.5 talks planned see the program available here: https://lrobert.perso.math.cnrs.fr/BTW5/BTW5Program.pdf This program might changed marginally (especially if you have comment complaints or suggestions).

We can have up to 35 people in Besse. Housing cost and food is covered by the conference (and we have a plan to be better on the food side, than last year). A bus shuttle from Clermont Ferrand to Besse on Sunday evening and from Besse to Clermont-Ferrand on friday afternoon will be arranged. Besides this, we do not plan to cover transport, but let us know if you have difficulties.

If you want to participate, please answer to this email (with all the organizers in CC) and tell us which talk(s) suit(s) you in preference order. As usual, the final repartition will be decided as soon as possible on a first arrived first served basis with priority given to young PhD students.

There is a webpage: https://lrobert.perso.math.cnrs.fr/BTW5/btw5.html Which will soon be updated.

Logistical details will be provided to the participants in due time, but bare in mind that due to its relative remoteness, it is difficult to participate to only part of the week.

Please circulate this announcement among your colleagues and using your usual math mailing list.

Would you have any question, do not hesitate to ask the organizers.

Best,

Marco De Renzi Quentin Faes Jules Martel Delphine Moussard Louis-Hadrien Robert
