Registration for Flexibility and contact geometry conference

The upcoming conference, “Flexibility and contact geometry” now has its own dedicated webpage where you can find the finalised list of speakers and the outline of the schedule. It also contains information on how to register. Whilst registration is free, it is essential so that we know how large an audience to prepare for. Lunch will be provided free of charge to all registered attendees.

Marco Zambon, from KU Leuven, will speak in the geometry seminar on Tuesday 3rd November at 2pm. The talk will be in O8.08 on the 8th floor of NO. Please note the unusual room which we are using whilst the Salle de Profs is being renovated.

Marco’s title is “Multisymplectic manifolds, homotopy moment maps, and conserved quantities”; his abstract follows. [Read more…]

Getting here

The department of mathematics is in building NO, on the Campus de la Plaine, of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The geometry group is on the 7th floor. This map shows NO, as well as the metro station Delta and entrance 2, which is right by the stop for the number 71 and 72 buses. The number 95 also stops a short walk from the department. See the STIB website for more information on public transport in Brussels.
