Georgia Topology Conference

AbstractAward：DMS-0308719首席研究员：Gordana Matic格鲁吉亚拓扑会议是一个年度会议，由几代拓扑学家在格鲁吉亚大学举办了四十多年。会议集中讨论了拓扑学的许多领域，包括双曲几何、叠层、叶理、4-流形、3-流形不变量、辛拓扑和接触拓扑。该会议一直以拓扑学的新兴研究领域为特色。拓扑学可以被看作是对我们生活的空间的结构和形状的研究。因此，拓扑学、几何学和物理学之间有着深刻的关系。正是这种对中心问题的多样性研究方法一直激励着拓扑学的研究。 我们鼓励并资助代表性不足的团体成员的参与。我们的参与者和组织者包括许多妇女。 我们的会议通常由一些资深研究人员和一大群年轻研究人员组成，其中大多数是刚获得博士学位的人。和一些研究生。这种形式，其关注新兴的研究领域，有助于本次会议在传播最新的研究和准备研究生和博士后在数学成功的研究生涯中发挥重要作用。

AbstractAward: DMS-0308719Principal Investigator: Gordana MaticThe Georgia Topology Conference is an annual conference that hasbeen organized by several generations of topologists at theUniversity of Georgia for over forty years. The conference hasfocused on many areas of topology including hyperbolic geometry,laminations, foliations, 4-manifolds, 3-manifold invariants,symplectic topology and contact topology. The conference hasalways featured emerging areas of research in topology.Topology can be viewed as the study of the structure and shape ofthe space we live in. As such there are deep relationshipsbetween topology, geometry, and physics. It is this diversity ofapproaches to central problems that has always energized researchin topology. We encourage and fund participation by members ofunderrepresented groups. Our participants and organizers haveincluded many women. Typically our conferences feature a fewsenior researchers and a large group of young researchers, mostlyrecent Ph.D.'s and some graduate students. This format, with itsattention to emerging areas of research, helps this conferenceplay a significant role in both disseminating the newest researchand preparing graduate students and postdocs for a successfulresearch career in mathematics.
