Our topology seminar

And for sentimental reasons, to the webpage of the Barcelona Topology Group.

Fourth Arolla Conference on Algebraic Topology

The registration is still open, but we have reached the full capacity of the hotel. You are still welcome to register for a place on our waiting list. CAT2012.



Editorial duties

I am on the editorial board of Algebraic and Geometric Topology: AGT.

The Arolla Conference on Algebraic Topology plans to publish Proceedings of the conference, just like it has been done with the AMS in 1999, 2004, and 2008. CONM504.
The deadline will probably be December 31st.



Cours Euler

I am in charge of this program for kids with a gift in mathematics. If your child is about 12 years old, shows a (very) high potential in mathematics, and lives in a French speaking canton, he might want to take our entrance exam on April 28th, 2012. You can find more information on the webpage Cours Euler.
