Ulam Centennial and Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference 2009; Gainesville, FL, March 2009

摘要：dms -0844136首席研究员：Philip L. Boyland, Louis S. Block,Alexander N. Dranishnikov, James E. keesling佛罗里达大学数学系将于2009年3月7日（周六）至3月12日（周四）举办Ulam百年纪念暨第43届春季拓扑与动力系统年会（Ulam Centennial STDC-2009）。一年一度的春季STDC是美国最成功的拓扑/动力学系列会议之一。Stanislaw Ulam将在2009年春天迎来100岁生日。他是20世纪最杰出的数学科学家之一，也是佛罗里达大学的研究生研究教授。鉴于Ulam在拓扑学，动力学和相关领域的许多贡献，将年度STDC与Ulam百年纪念相结合是非常合适的。联合会议将保持STDC的基本结构和会议，但将延长3天，以便在Ulam对数学和科学的许多贡献领域进行额外的特别会议和全体演讲。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性和解析性。它们都是现代数学的基本组成部分，在机器人、流体混合、计算机网络和心律等领域都有广泛的应用。会议是数学力量和发展的基础，因此也是国家科学基础设施的基本组成部分。本次会议将结合拓扑和动力系统的最新成果以及与Stan Ulam相关的许多应用主题。虽然乌拉姆最被公众记住的可能是他参与曼哈顿计划，但他在数学和科学方面的贡献是广泛而深刻的。它们包括数值方法、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，会议将推进拓扑和动力系统的高质量研究，同时促进相邻数学研究领域之间以及抽象研究和应用研究之间广泛而深入的互动。

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.
