SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

St. Petersburg State University,
Steklov Institute of Mathematics at St. Petersburg (POMI),
St. Petersburg Mathematical Society, and
Euler International Mathematical Institute

organize the conference

"TOPOLOGY AND DYNAMICS: ROKHLIN MEMORIAL"
devoted to the 80th anniversary of the birthday of
Vladimir A. Rokhlin (1919-1984).

The conference will take place on August 19-25, 1999 in the Euler Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia.

PROGRAMME COMMITTEE:

PROGRAMME OF THE CONFERENCE

The main subjects of the conference are:
algebraic and differential topology,
algebraic, real algebraic, and Riemannian geometry,
smooth and symplectic dynamics, ergodic theory,
applications.

We are planning 4 sections:

  1. Topology of manifolds and varieties.
  2. Real algebraic geometry.
  3. Riemannian and symplectic geometry.
  4. Dynamical systems and ergodic theory.
The programme will consist of 1-hour plenary talks, 45-minute section talks, and 25-minute communications.

LIST OF PARTICIPANTS

The following people have already expressed an explicit interest in attending the conference. The list does not include the members of the Programme Committee and many mathematicians from St. Petersburg. The current list of possible participants and preliminary titles of some talks are available on the World Wide Web http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/1999/rokhlin/list.html.

Local Organizing Committee:

N. Netsvetaev, A. Vershik (chairman), O. Viro, M. Zvagel'skii.

SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS AND TALKS

For submission of abstracts we decided to use facilities of Atlas Mathematical Conference Abstracts. If you wish to present a talk, please, submit before May 31, 1999 an extended (up to two pages) abstract (either plain ASCII or TeX) via
http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/amca/submit/cacy-01
If the Programme Committee accept your talk, your abstract will become available to everyone via
http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/amca/cacy-01
The Proceedings of the conference will be published in a separate volume. The full papers to be published in the Proceedings should be sent to the address: papers@eimi.imi.ras.ru

CONFERENCE FEE

Participation fee is 150$ (with 3 meals a day) and 100$ (without meals). It should be paid on arrival.

SUPPORT

We are awaiting a certain financial support from INTAS, East Committee of EMS, and RFBR, which in particular will cover a part of expenses of participants involved in the INTAS projects and participants from Russia. We also hope to be able to support participants from countries in difficult economic situation and young mathematicians, and to reduce the conference fee for them.

LODGING

The meeting will take place in the building of the Euler International Mathematical Institute (EIMI), and also in the St. Petersburg State University and in the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in the special occasions.

We suggest that all participants stay in nearby (10 minutes walk) hotel of the LDM ("Lenigradskii Dvorets Molodezhi") which is the standard place of living for visitors to the EIMI.

REGISTRATION

You can register either on-line via http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/1999/rokhlin/form.html or by filling in and e-mailing the registration form. Upon registration, the Organizing Committee will send an official invitation required for application for a visa. This process takes some time so we suggest you to register as soon as possible, that is even before confirmation of acceptance of your talk. The deadline for registration is May 31, 1999.

All correspondence connected with the Conference should be addressed to rokhlin@euler.pdmi.ras.ru Current information including list of participants is available on the World Wide Web http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/1999/rokhlin/
