Claude Viterbo is advertising a postdoctoral position. His message follows.
I wanted to inform you that a postdoctroal position is open in either Grenoble, Lyon or Paris for candidates interested in interactions between microlocal sheaf theory and symplectic geometry/topology

Éveline Legendre (of the Université de Toulouse) will speak at the geometry seminar on 26th January 2016. Her title is “The Hilbert-Einstein functional and the Sasaki-Futaki invariant”. Her abstract is below. The talk will take place at 2pm, in the Salle des Profs, 9th floor of building NO. [Read more…]
The department of mathematics at the ULB has decided to relaunch the colloquium. The goal is to have talks aimed at a broad audience (all members of the department, including PhD and masters students in all fields). The organisers are Antoine Gloria and Joel Fine.
The talks will be held once a month, always on a Friday from 4:30-5-30. The following speakers (including two Fields Medalists!) are already confirmed.
The 8th Brussels-London seminar takes place next Tuesday, 12th January. The theme is Lower bounds on Ricci curvature and we’re very fortunate to have a great line up of speakers: Fabio Cavelletti, Andrea Mondino and Theo Sturm. The event begins with lunch in the Salle de Profs, 9th floor of building NO, at 12. The talks are as follows: 13:30 Mondino, 14:45 Cavalletti, 16:00 Sturm. Andrea Mondino has kindly agreed to give a survey style talk so the event will be as accessible as possible.
As always, the details are all available on the seminar’s dedicated web-page. If you are attending then please don’t forget to register! I hope to see you all there!
