BLAST 2011

It is a pleasure to announce the fourth BLAST conference, June 1, 2011 to June 5, 2011 at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS.

BLAST (Boolean algebras, Lattices, Algebraic logic, Set theory, and Topology; quantum logic and point-free topology have been added to the mix) is a series of annual conferences. The first three BLAST conferences were at the University of Denver, New Mexico State University, and the University of Colorado in Boulder.

BLAST 2011 will feature invited talks by Themba Dube, Todd Eisworth, Christian Herrmann, Albin Jones, Milos Kurilic, Keye Martin, and Jorge Martinez, and invited tutorials by Magdalena Grzech, Pieter Hofstra, Marion Scheepers, and Stevo Todorcevic.

Abstract submission is through Atlas-conferences; a link to an abstract submission form can be found on the conference website.

Registration will be $80 before May 1, 2011, and $100 after that. We will set up electronic registration in the next few weeks.

A limited amount of financial support is available for graduate students and recent PhD's.
