The conference will bring mathematicians together to discuss recent developments in smooth and symplectic low-dimensional topology and geometry. It is being held at the University of Texas, Austin, to celebrate the the 60th birthday of UT Austin's Jane and Roland Blumberg Centennial Professor in Mathematics Bob Gompf.

Organizers

The conference centers around the mathematics of Gompf. The organizers are Gompf's former Ph.D. students, including Georgia Tech School of Mathematics Professor John Etnyre.

  • John Etnyre, Georgia Institute of Technology
  • Laura Starkston, Stanford University
  • Jeremy Van Horn-Morris, University of Arkansas
  • Jonathan Williams, Binghamton University

Etnyre is leading a delegation of Georgia Tech students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty.
