About the Meeting: This is a colloquium. These four eminent mathematicians will give talks accessible to a very wide mathematical audience, and everybody is invited. Supervisors: it will be a great opportunity for your students to see some superb lectures which will broaden their education, and the LMS will pay their expenses! When you meet them afterwards and they tell you how good it was, you will wish you had been there too! The meeting is part of a series of annual one day events held in the British midlands and sponsored by the London Mathematical Society. Webpages for the past five LMS meetings can be viewed through the following links: 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001.
Participants: A preliminary list of participants can be viewed list
Poster Session for PhD students: PhD Students are invited to make poster demonstrations of their work for display at the meeting. Springer will donate a prize of the value of 100.00 pounds in books for the best poster. Please let the organiser know if you like to submit a poster! Here is a list of posters submitted so far.
Registration: There is no registration fee for this meeting. Those interested in attending should notify one of the following conference organizers by e-mail:
| Frank Neumann: | fn8@mcs.le.ac.uk |
| Joshua Scott: | js262@mcs.le.ac.uk |
Dinner: Following tradition, there will be a conference dinner held after the meeting. The dinner will be at the indian restaurant Shimla Pinks (65-69 London Road, Leicester). The prize for the meal will be 22.00 pounds per person (drinks not included). Speakers are invited and PhD students will be also supported. Please contact either Frank Neumann or Joshua Scott as soon as possible if you wish to dine. Mention in your e-mail any dietary restrictions that you follow.
Funding: There are limited funds available to contribute in part to the expenses of members of the Society or research students to attend the Society meeting on Monday 15 May. Requests for support, including an estimate of expenses, may be addressed to the Programme Secretary at the Society (web: www.lms.ac.uk; email: grants@lms.ac.uk).
Computer facilities: Participants will be able to use basic computer facilities for email access via internet. The computer room KE 103 (Ken Edwards Building, First Floor) will be reserved for participants every day from Monday to Thursday for the time of 10:30-18:30. Login and password will be annouced during the meeting.
Lunch: There are no specific arrangements for lunch of participants. There are several possibilities for having lunch on campus, for example in the Charles Wilson Building on the 5th floor as well as in Cafe Piazza on the ground floor. There are also several restaurants on London Road.
Accommodation: Funding for accomodation is limited to invited speakers and research students. All other participants should if needed arrange accomodation on their own. Here is a list of hotels close to the University of Leicester campus.
