The PI will organize a conference on Algebraic Topology, Homotopy theory, and its applications in October 2009, to be held at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, honoring J. Peter May on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The conference will consist of a Friday colloquium by a leading researcher, followed by two days of talks. The speakers in the conference will represent a cross-section of established researchers and recent Ph.D.'s from a variety of institutions. The talks will describe the leading current developments and trends in the fields of Algebraic Topology and Homotopy Theory such as those pertaining to topological field theories, higher category theory, and interactions with arithmetic algebraic geometry. Emphasis will be placed on encouraging participation by graduate students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups.The conference will stimulate research in a major branch of the mathematical sciences. The proposed format of the conference is designed to foster the development of undergraduate and graduate student participants with an interest in algebraic topology, by giving them access to leading researchers in the field. The subject matter of the conference is interrelated to many different branches of mathematics, and the conference therefore has the potential to bring about new collaborations and discoveries to groups of researchers in the mathematical sciences. The accessibility of the conference will be augmented by the creation of a web page which will distribute the contents of the presentations on the internet.

PI 将于 2009 年 10 月在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的芝加哥大学组织一次关于代数拓扑、同伦理论及其应用的会议，以纪念 J. Peter May 的 70 岁生日。 会议将包括周五由一位顶尖研究人员主持的座谈会，以及随后为期两天的会谈。 会议的发言者将代表来自各个机构的知名研究人员和新近获得的博士学位。 演讲将描述代数拓扑和同伦理论领域的当前领先发展和趋势，例如与拓扑场论、高范畴论以及与算术代数几何的相互作用有关的领域。 重点将放在鼓励研究生、新近博士生、女性和代表性不足的少数群体成员的参与。这次会议将刺激数学科学的一个主要分支的研究。 会议的拟议形式旨在通过让对代数拓扑感兴趣的本科生和研究生参与者接触该领域的领先研究人员来促进他们的发展。 会议的主题与数学的许多不同分支相互关联，因此会议有可能为数学科学研究人员群体带来新的合作和发现。 将通过创建一个网页来增强会议的可访问性，该网页将在互联网上分发演示内容。
