PhD and post-doc positions in Utrecht
by Roberto Frigerio 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Ricevo e inoltro. Roberto I would like to draw your attention to several PhD and PostDoc positions that we have available here at Utrecht University. The positions are associated to one of my research projects; the project is rooted in Poisson Geometry, but rapidly exceeds the boundaries of Poisson Geometry to neighboring areas. Therefore the need of man power with expertise in various parts of Geometry. To be a bit more specific, I am looking for: - PhD candidates with a good background in Differential Geometry/Topology. We have 2-3 such positions to be filled in 2015 or 2016. These are standard, 4 years PhD positions at Utrecht University. - PostDoc candidates whose expertise comes with one of the following key-words: contact geometry, low-dimensional topology, K3 surfaces and Kahler geometry, hyperkahler geometry, Lefschetz fibrations (classical as well as variations, up to broken ones), open-book decompositions, symplectic geometry/topology, toric geometry, moment maps, geometric aspects of gerbes, integral affine geometry, nil and solv-manifolds, the standard conjectures from affine geometry (Auslander conjecture, Markus conjecture), foliations and leafwise geometric structures, G-structures and the geometry of PDEs. We have 2-3 such PhD positions, they are for 2-3 years and they come with very low teaching duties (if at all). If you want to see more details, or you wonder how all these are related to each other (through Poisson geometry), you can find a more detailed description at: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~crain101/positions Can you please forward this information to anyone who may be interested? The deadline for applying if February 15, 2015 (in case that not all positions will be filled, there will be another round later in the year). More details, including the ones on how to apply, can be found at the same address: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~crain101/positions Thank you. Best regards, Marius Crainic

seminario domani

buon anno a tutti, da domani ricominciamo con i seminari di geometria. Questo è il programma per il prossimo mese: i seminari sono organizzati da varie persone e le ringrazio tutte. 14-Jan-2015 - 16:00 - Sala Riunioni (Dip. Matematica) Leone Slavich Symmetries of hyperbolic 4-manifolds 21-Jan-2015 - 15:30 - Sala Riunioni (Dip. Matematica) Mauro Porta Seminario di geometria - Higher analytic stacks and GAGA theorems 22-Jan-2015 - 15:00 - Aula Magna (Dip. Matematica) Angelo Vistoli La figura e l’opera di Alexander Grothendieck 28-Jan-2015 - 16:00 - Sala Seminari (Dip. Matematica) Julien Korinman Decomposition of quantum representations into irreducible factors Seguono più dettagli sul seminario di domani. a presto, Bruno ------- SYMMETRIES OF HYPERBOLIC 4-MANIFOLDS Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Ora Inizio: 16:00 Ora Fine: 17:00 Aula: Sala Riunioni (Dip. Matematica) SEMINARI DI GEOMETRIA Relatore: Leone Slavich We will introduce a construction which produces a family of arithmetic, non-compact hyperbolic 4-manifolds, such that every finite group G is realized as the symmetry group of some member of this family. This allows us to obtain asymptotic bounds which relate the order of a finite group G with the minimal volume of a hyperbolic 4-manifold realizing G as its symmetry group. The construction uses very accessible techniques: basic hyperbolic geometry on one hand, and the combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes on the other.

I am currently advertising for two 2-3year postdoctoral positions with my group at Imperial College London. This position is funded from my recent large Leverhulme grant on Knotted DNA. The start date is flexible. The postdoc will use their experience in 3-manifold topology, and be interacting with a large interdisciplinary team of biologists and topologists. (No prior biological experience necessary, although regular discussions with our collaborating experimental lab will be expected). This is a predominantly research postdoc with minimal teaching. Travel & computer funds are also included. Please advertise this to your colleagues and mailing lists, and if you know of any good candidates, please encourage them to apply, and/or email me (d.buck(a)imperial.ac.uk) with any further questions. The deadline is 22 December 2014. The jobs are advertised here: http://eims.ams.org/jobs/6658867/research-associate-in-mathematics here https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/6803 and here: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AKA639/research-associate-in-mathematics/ Thanks very much, and happy holidays!

buondì, vi segnalo il seminario di geometria di oggi. a presto, Bruno ------- Titolo: Volume simpliciale Lipschitz e principio di proporzionalità per varietà complete. Tuesday, December 9, 2014 Orario: 14:00 - 15:00 Aula: Sala Seminari (Dip. Matematica) Relatore: Federico Franceschini (Università di Pisa) Abstract: Darò la definizione e le principali proprietà del volume simpliciale. Poi parlerò del principio di proporzionalità di Gromov per varietà riemanniane chiuse, e di una sua versione al caso di varietà complete non-positivamente curve a volume finito dato da Clara Löh e Roman Sauer. Infine, farò vedere come la loro dimostrazione può essere adattata rimuovendo le ipotesi sulla curvatura.
