Conference
Topics
The conference focuses on the new interactions of Algebraic
Topology with Group Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical
Physics which come from looking at these fields through the eye of a
homotopy theorist. It celebrates one of the contributors to the
subject by honoring the 60th birthday of Haynes Miller (MIT). One
week before the conference there will be a workshop at the University
of Copenhagen with lecture series by Bill Dwyer (Notre Dame) and
by Paul Goerss (Northwestern).
Scientific Program
The following invited speakers have agreed to contribute with
lectures:
Schedule and Informations for Speakers
The talks start Monday morning June 23rd and end Friday afternoon
June 27th. Here is a more detailed schedule.
We expect approximately 250 participants.
The talks take place in the “Grossen
Hoersaal” of the Mathematical Institute in the
Wegelerstrasse which has only slightly more seats. There is a large
blackboard, overhead projectors, a beamer and a microphone.
Travel Information
Most visitors will fly to Frankfurt/Main Airport (FRA). After
arriving go to the railway station and take a train of the Deutsche
Bahn AG (DB) to Siegburg-Bonn station. From
the platform at the Siegburg-Bonn station go down to the street car
stop. Enter a street car and drop at Bonn Central Rail Station
(Hauptbahnhof). The duration is about 25 minutes. Then follow
the directions on the map
to the lecture hall "Grosser Hoersaal" of the Mathematical
Institute in the Wegelerstrasse or to your hotel which is in walking
distance. If you don't want to walk you can catch a cab in front of
the station. Here is a list of hotels:
-
Travelers to the Jugendherberge
Bonn go to the central bus station in front of the Hauptbahnhof.
Take the bus line no. 621 from platfrom A2 in the direction
Ippendorf-Altenheim to the stop "Jugendherberge".
If you arrive at Dusseldorf airport (DUS) you take the train to
Bonn Central Rail Station (Hauptbahnhof). (You might have to change
trains in Dusseldorf Hauptbahnhof to do so.) If you arrive at
Cologne/Bonn airport (CGN) enter an airport bus (Line no. 670) to
Bonn Central Rail Station
(Hauptbahnhof). From here you proceed as above.

Reimbursements
and Practical Matters
Each participant has received an
invitation which provides some information about the individual
financial support. The German money is paid in cash on Tuesday
morning at the Institute during the coffee break. For the NSF money
there are travel claim forms available in the info pack or at the
webpage which have
to be completed and sent after the conference. The info pack also
provides a name tag which serves as an entrance card to the lecture
hall and to the library, access information to wlan of the Institute
and to the computers of the MPI, a map of Bonn with a list of
restaurants and an optional conference ticket
for public transportation in Bonn. The ticket can be ordered over the
registration
page.
Conference Excursions
The conference dinner and excursion to
Linz is on Wednesday afternoon. If you still want to register, please
send an email to the administration. There are two further social
events: a guided tour to the Zoo of Cologne
on Tuesday and a Beethoven walk on
Thursday. Here is the registration
page. Information about other places of interest such as museums
or concert halls will be available in the info pack. For instance,
the Romanian Summer
takes place during the week and the Euro
