DMS-0423910Steven A. BleilerThe Cascade Topology Seminar is a cooperative effort among mathematicians in the Pacific Northwest United States and Southwestern Canada. An advisory committee works by consensus to decide meeting sites and serve as and consult with local organizers. Local organizers consult with the advisory committee and interested parties to select a list of speakers. The lecturers do not necessarily have to speak on a topological topic. Due to the interests of the organizers, most talks do touch on topological subjects, hence the title of the seminar. Typically two or three of the speakers are from outside the region. Recent presentations in the Seminar included such topics as Geometrization in dimension 3, the Orbifold Theorem, Topological Robotics, Cryptography and the Braid Group, Finiteness Properties of Groups, Integral Structures in Topological Quantum Field Theory, Representation Varieties, Embedding n-complexes into 2n-space, Skein Theory in knot theory and beyond, Quantum Representations of Mapping Class Groups, and the self homotopy equivalences of 4-manifolds. The Cascade Topology Seminar is designed in part to keep its participants abreast of recent developments in their own and related fields, and no attempt is made to limit the topics covered in the lectures. However, the interests of the various organizers tend to be mirrored by the interests of the speakers. The lectures therefore usually concern algebraic, geometric, or low dimensional topology, differential or algebraic geometry, or combinatorial group theory. The Seminar also strives to enable graduate students and topologists in the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern Canada to hear, consult, and possibly collaborate with the outside speakers and members of other institutions. Efforts are made to accommodate special needs of participants and to encourage members of traditionally under-represented groups to participate. The Cascade Topology Seminar organizers also make a consistent effort to include younger and/or women speakers in its programs and to provide opportunities for local people to lecture on their own work.

steven a. bleiler级联拓扑研讨会是美国太平洋西北地区和加拿大西南部数学家的合作成果。咨询委员会以协商一致的方式决定会议地点，并充当当地组织者的顾问。当地组织者与咨询委员会和有关各方协商，选择演讲者名单。讲师不一定要讲拓扑主题。由于组织者的兴趣，大多数演讲都涉及拓扑主题，因此研讨会的标题。通常有两三个发言者来自该地区以外。最近在研讨会上的演讲包括：三维几何化、轨道定理、拓扑机器人、密码学和编织群、群的有限性、拓扑量子场论中的积分结构、表示变体、在2n空间中嵌入n-复合体、结论及结论中的Skein理论、映射类群的量子表示、4流形的自同伦等价。级联拓扑研讨会的设计部分是为了让参与者了解他们自己和相关领域的最新发展，并且不试图限制讲座所涵盖的主题。然而，各种组织者的利益往往反映在演讲者的利益上。因此，讲座通常涉及代数、几何或低维拓扑、微分或代数几何，或组合群论。研讨会还努力使加拿大太平洋西北和西南地区的研究生和拓扑学家能够听取、咨询并可能与外部演讲者和其他机构的成员合作。已作出努力，照顾参加者的特殊需要，并鼓励传统上代表性不足的群体的成员参加。Cascade拓扑学研讨会的组织者也一直努力在其项目中包括年轻和/或女性演讲者，并为当地人提供机会讲授他们自己的工作。
