Mathematical Sciences: 1995 and 1996 Albany Group Theory Conferences

该奖项为第七届和第八届SUNYA拓扑和群论年度会议提供了部分支持，会议于1995年10月13日至15日和1996年10月11日至13日在纽约奥尔巴尼举行。会议集中讨论组合群论和低维拓扑。1995年的受邀演讲嘉宾有Robert Bieri、mikhail Gromov、Narain Gupta、William Menasco、Chuck Miller、Richard Schwartz和Efim Zelmanov。代数拓扑学在很大程度上借鉴了群论，这是不言自明的，但这些会议的主题的一个魅力在于，流动基本上是在另一个方向上，拓扑学在揭示群的性质和结构方面偿还了它的债务。＊＊＊

9523169 Turner This award provides partial support for the seventh and eighth annual SUNYA Topology and Group Theory conferences, October 13-15, 1995, and October 11-13, 1996, in Albany, New York. The conferences concentrate on combinatorial group theory and low dimensional topology. The invited speakers in 1995 are Robert Bieri, Mikhael Gromov, Narain Gupta, William Menasco, Chuck Miller, Richard Schwartz, and Efim Zelmanov. It is axiomatic that algebraic topology draws heavily upon group theory, but one charm of the subject of these conferences is that the flow is substantially in the other direction, with topology repaying its debt in shedding light on the properties and structure of groups. ***
