Participants and the organizing committee will give lectures, with plenty of time for other activities (exercise sessions, reading groups, impromptu lectures). There is no registration fee for this event, but we ask all who are interested in coming...

We study the space M_g of isometry classes (or conformal equivalence classes) of smooth manifolds, diffeomorphic to #^g(S^d \times S^d), the connected sum of g copies of S^d \times S^d. For 2d=2, this is essentially the moduli space of Riemann...

The moduli space of Riemann surfaces $M_g$ parametrizes bundles of genus $g$ surfaces. A classical theorem of J. Harer implies that the homology $H_k(M_g)$ is independent of $g$, as long as $g$ is large compared to $k$. In joint work with Oscar...
