This grant will support The Cornell Topology Festival for the next three years, starting in Spring 2009. The Festival has been a strong force in the mathematical life of topologists and geometers in the northeastern United States for the past 45 years, providing a significant arena for the development and dissemination of a broad array of results from within the areas of algebraic, differential, and geometric topology and allied subjects. Each year approximately one-third of the talks will be in a particular area of emphasis. Recent examples are algebraic topology and its applications (2006), low-dimensional topology and group theory (2007), and symplectic geometry and topology (2008). Each year's Festival will include two introductory workshops in the area of emphasis, to provide a point of entry for interested non-experts and a sense of involvement for all participants. It will also include a broad-ranging panel discussion by the invited speakers, to provide a forward-looking perspective on new developments not covered in the talks.The broader impacts of the Festival include (a) a more broadly-trained community of topologists, able to transcend the boundaries of sub-specialties; (b) a more diverse mathematical workforce; (c) a more rapid integration of younger topologists into areas of current research; and (d) the enhancement of collaboration among researchers in different areas of topology. There is an outreach and support program to encourage the participation of underrepresented groups and young researchers. The training effects of the Festival will be extended by dissemination of lecture notes from the workshops and a summary of the panel discussion; the main vehicle for this is the Festival web site, which has been maintained continuously since 1997.

这笔赠款将支持康奈尔拓扑节在未来三年，从2009年春季开始。 该节日一直是一个强大的力量在数学生活的拓扑学家和geometers在美国东北部在过去的45年里，提供了一个显着的竞技场的发展和传播的广泛的成果范围内的代数，微分，几何拓扑结构和相关学科。 每年约有三分之一的会谈将在一个特定的重点领域。 最近的例子是代数拓扑及其应用（2006），低维拓扑和群论（2007），辛几何和拓扑（2008）。 每年的艺术节将包括两个重点领域的介绍性讲习班，为感兴趣的非专家提供一个切入点，并为所有参与者提供一种参与感。 此外，大会亦会邀请讲者进行广泛的专题讨论，就讲座中未提及的新发展提供前瞻性的观点。国际数学节的广泛影响包括：（a）一群受过更广泛训练的拓扑学家，能够超越次专业的界限;（b）一群更多元化的数学工作者;（c）一群更有经验的数学家。（c）更迅速地将年轻的拓扑学家纳入当前的研究领域;以及（d）加强拓扑学不同领域的研究人员之间的合作。 有一个推广和支持方案，以鼓励代表性不足的群体和年轻研究人员的参与。 将通过散发讲习班的讲义和小组讨论的摘要扩大电影节的培训效果;这方面的主要工具是电影节的网址，该网址自1997年以来一直在维持。
