AbstractAward: DMS-0844136Principal Investigator: Philip L. Boyland, Louis S. Block,Alexander N. Dranishnikov, James E. KeeslingThe University of Florida Department of Mathematics will host ajoint Ulam Centennial and 43rd Annual Spring Topology andDynamical Systems Conference (Ulam Centennial STDC-2009) fromSaturday, March 7 through Thursday, March 12, 2009. The AnnualSpring STDC's are among the nation's most successful series oftopology/dynamics conferences. Stanislaw Ulam would turn 100 inSpring, 2009. He was one of the preeminent mathematicalscientists of the 20th century and a Graduate Research Professorat the University of Florida. In light of Ulam's manycontributions to topology, dynamics, and related fields, it isvery fitting that the annual STDC be combined with an UlamCentennial. The joint conference will maintain the basicstructure and sessions of the STDC, but will be extended by 3days to allow additional special sessions and plenary lectures inthe areas of Ulam's many contributions to mathematics andscience.Topology studies generalized notions of spatial structure;Dynamical Systems studies the topological and analytic nature oftime evolution. Each is a fundamental part of modern mathematicsand has applications as far ranging as robotics, fluid mixing,computer networks and cardiac rhythms. Conferences arefundamental to the strength and development of mathematics, andas such are a fundamental part of the national scientificinfrastructure. This conference will combine the latest resultsin Topology and Dynamical Systems with many applied topicsassociated with Stan Ulam. While Ulam is perhaps best rememberedby the public for his participation in the Manhattan Project, hismathematical and scientific contributions were wide anddeep. They include significant work in numerical methods,classical mechanics, dynamical systems, number theory, graphtheory, set theory, and ergodic theory. Inspired by Ulam'sexample, the conference will advance top quality research inTopology and Dynamical Systems while facilitating broad and deepinteraction among adjacent mathematical research areas andbetween abstract and applied research.

摘要奖：DMS-0844136主要研究员：菲利普·L·博伊兰，路易斯·S·布洛克，亚历山大·N·德拉尼什尼科夫，詹姆斯·E·基斯佛罗里达大学数学系将于2009年3月7日(星期六)至3月12日(星期四)联合主办ULAM百年纪念和第43届春季拓扑与动力系统年会(ULAM百年纪念STDC-2009)。年春STDC是美国最成功的一系列拓扑学/动力学会议之一。斯坦尼斯瓦夫·乌兰将在2009年迎来鼓舞人心的100岁生日。他是20世纪杰出的数学家之一，也是佛罗里达大学的研究生研究教授。鉴于ULAM在拓扑学、动力学和相关领域做出的许多贡献，将一年一度的STDC与ULAM百年纪念结合起来是非常合适的。联席会议将维持STDC的基本结构和会议，但将延长3天，以允许在ULAM对数学和科学做出许多贡献的领域举行额外的特别会议和全体讲座。拓扑学研究空间结构的广义概念；动力系统研究时间演化的拓扑和分析性质。每一个都是现代数学的基本组成部分，其应用范围广泛，如机器人、流体混合、计算机网络和心律。会议对数学的力量和发展至关重要，因此也是国家科学基础设施的基本组成部分。这次会议将结合拓扑学和动力系统的最新成果和许多与斯坦·乌兰有关的应用主题。虽然乌兰姆最为公众所熟知的可能是他对曼哈顿计划的参与，但他在数学和科学方面的贡献是广泛和深刻的。它们包括在数值方法、经典力学、动力系统、数论、图论、集合论和遍历理论方面的重要工作。受Ulam例子的启发，会议将推进拓扑学和动力系统的高质量研究，同时促进相邻数学研究领域以及抽象研究和应用研究之间的广泛和深入的互动。
