1997 and 1998 Albany Group Theory Conferences

该奖项为1997年10月10日至12日和1998年10月9日至11日在纽约奥尔巴尼附近举行的第九届和第十届SUNYA拓扑和群论年会提供部分支持。会议集中讨论组合群论和低维拓扑。1997年的受邀演讲者有大卫·爱泼斯坦、史蒂夫·格斯滕、米沙·卡波维奇、拉维·库尔卡尼、约翰·迈耶、阿列克谢·米亚斯尼科夫和g·a·斯瓦鲁普。代数拓扑学在很大程度上借鉴了群论，这是不言自明的，但这些会议主题的魅力之一是，在另一个方向上，拓扑学的流动是实质性的，拓扑学在揭示群的性质和结构方面偿还了它的债务。＊＊＊

9704857 Turner This award provides partial support for the ninth and tenth annual SUNYA Topology and Group Theory conferences, October 10-12, 1997, and October 9-11, 1998, near Albany, New York. The conferences concentrate on combinatorial group theory and low dimensional topology. The invited speakers in 1997 are David Epstein, Steve Gersten, Misha Kapovich, Ravi Kulkarni, John Meier, Alexei Miasnikov, and G. A. Swarup. 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 substantial in the other direction, with topology repaying its debt in shedding light on the properties and structure of groups. ***
