Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference 2004

摘要奖：DMS-0349862主要研究者：Lex G.作者：Oversteegen，亚历山大M.约翰·布洛克位于伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学数学系提议于2004年3月25-27日主办春季拓扑与动力系统会议（STDC）。 STDC包含了拓扑学和动力系统的拓扑方法的大部分领域。 我们预计会议将吸引200多名国内外与会者。拟议活动的智力价值在于与会者之间广泛而深入的互动。 为了确保会议中心每个领域的强大和平衡的代表性，我们建议并行运行四个特殊会议：连续统理论，动力系统，一般和集合理论拓扑，几何拓扑。 为促进团结和互动，会议将分两个平行会议举行12场25分钟的邀请会谈，7场50分钟的全体会谈。将为与会者提供充分的正式和非正式互动机会。 这将包括一个专门讨论会议领域的艺术状态，当前富有成效的方向和新的机会的会议。STDC会议汇集了数学家和数学学生在数学的两个核心领域工作：拓扑和动力系统。 拟议活动的更广泛影响在于通过传播这两个核心领域的最新成果来增进知识，包括教育学生。 我们预计许多受邀演讲将强调中心会议领域研究议程的互动。 核心领域的成功会议是数学基础设施的重要组成部分，支持研究，培养新的数学家，并为数学和科学相关领域的应用奠定基础。将尽一切努力为代表性不足的群体、研究生和这些领域的活跃研究人员提供实质性参与。

AbstractAward: DMS-0349862Principal Investigator: Lex G. Oversteegen, Alexander M. Blokh, John C. MayerThe Department of Mathematics of the University of Alabama atBirmingham proposes to host the Spring Topology and DynamicalSystems Conference (STDC), March 25-27, 2004. The STDCencompasses most of the areas of topology and of topologicalapproaches to dynamical systems. We expect the conference toattract over 200 participants, nationally and internationally.The intellectual merit of the proposed activity lies in the broadand deep interaction among the participants. To ensure strongand balanced representation in each of the areas central to theconference, we propose to have four special sessions running inparallel: Continuum Theory, Dynamical Systems, General andSet-Theoretic Topology, and Geometric Topology. To promote unityand interaction, there will be 12 invited talks of 25-minutes intwo parallel sessions, and 7 plenary talks of 50 minutes. Ampleopportunities for formal and informal interaction amongparticipants will be provided. This will include a sessiondevoted to the state of the arts in the conference areas, currentfruitful directions, and new opportunities.The STDC conference brings together mathematicians andmathematics students working in two core areas of mathematics:topology and dynamical systems. The broader impact of theproposed activity lies in the advancement of knowledge, includingeducation of students, through communication of recent results inthese two core areas. We expect that many of the invited talkswill emphasize interaction of the research agendas of the centralconference areas. Successful conferences in core areas are animportant part of mathematical infrastructure, supportingresearch, training new mathematicians, and developing afoundation for applications in related fields of mathematics andscience. Every effort will be made to provide for the substantialparticipation of under-represented groups, graduate students, andactive researchers in these areas.
