AbstractAward: DMS-0805925Principal Investigator: P. Robert KotiugaThis award provides partial support of the conference on theheritage of Raoul Bott planned for the Centre de RechercheMathematique in Montreal, Quebec during June 2008. Topics ofconference presentations include: operator algebraic methods andK-theory, supersymmetry and quantum field theory, Morse theory,string topology, pseudoholomorphic curves, Floer homology,equivariant cohomology and localization, generalized cohomologytheories and physics, and networks; applications and modularforms.This conference, cosponsored by the Clay Mathematics Institute,focuses on the mathematical legacy of Raoul Bott and theextraordinary impact he had on both topology and interactionsbetween mathematics, physics and technology. Bott?s students,coauthors, and intellectual descendents will talk onforward-looking research topics, addressing a broad audience.Montreal was chosen as the conference venue because Bott obtainedtwo degrees in Electrical Engineering at McGill University in the1940s, an Honorary Doctorate from McGill in 1987 and the Centrede Recherches Mathematiques (CRM) is the focal point ofmathematics in Montreal where one can find three generations ofmathematicians with close connections to Bott. The week-longconference features 26 hour long slots for technical talks orpanel discussions. See http://www.crm.math.ca/Bott08 fordetails.

AbstractAward：DMS-0805925首席研究员：P. Robert Kotiuga该奖项为计划于2008年6月在魁北克蒙特利尔的数学研究中心举行的关于拉乌尔博特遗产的会议提供了部分支持。 会议报告的主题包括：算子代数方法和K-理论，超对称和量子场论，莫尔斯理论，弦拓扑，伪全纯曲线，弗洛尔同调，等变上同调和局部化，广义上同调理论和物理，网络;应用程序和模块化形式。这次会议，由克莱数学研究所共同主办，着重于数学遗产的拉乌尔博特和非凡的影响，他都拓扑和相互作用之间的数学，物理和技术。 伯特？蒙特利尔被选为会议地点是因为博特在20世纪40年代在麦吉尔大学获得了两个电气工程学位，1987年获得麦吉尔大学荣誉博士学位和数学研究中心（CRM）是数学的焦点在蒙特利尔，人们可以找到三代数学家与密切联系博特。为期一周的会议有26小时的技术会谈或小组讨论。 详情请参见http://www.crm.math.ca/Bott08。
