Midwest Topology Seminar

这是一项为中西部拓扑研讨会提供旅行支持的提案，中西部拓扑研讨会是一个地区性的代数拓扑会议，大约每年召开三次，已有四十多年的历史。这个系列会议汇集了来自中西部地区和各个拓扑子领域的拓扑学家，为该领域的新成果和趋势提供了一个论坛。在研讨会期间，代数拓扑学与几何拓扑学、代数几何、数论和物理学发展了联系。这项拨款的目的是为研究生和活跃的研究人员提供旅行资金，以便他们可以参加中西部拓扑学研讨会。通过邀请该地区以外的演讲者，并为中西部的研究人员提供一个论坛，以便他们在出现新结果时发表意见，研讨会使该地区的拓扑学家和几何学者能够及时了解该领域的最新工作。研讨会的频繁召开使其在研究和研究生教育方面发挥了重要作用，因为它允许整个中西部的研究人员和研究生之间进行教学和合作。它向所有希望参加的人开放，也向任何从事拓扑研究的中西部机构开放。

This is a proposal to provide travel support for the Midwest Topology Seminar, a regional algebraic topology conference that has met approximately three times a year for more than forty years. This conference series brings together topologists from across the Midwest and from across the various subfields of topology, providing a forum for new results and trends in the field. In the lifetime of the seminar, algebraic topology has developed links with geometric topology, algebraic geometry, number theory and physics.The purpose of this grant is to provide travel funding for graduate students and active researchers so that they may attend the Midwest Topology Seminar. By inviting speakers from outside the region, and by providing a forum for Midwestern researchers to speak about their new results as soon as they occur, the Seminar allows regional topologists and geometers to stay abreast of the latest work in the field. The frequency with which the Seminar meets gives it an important role in both research and graduate education, since it allows teaching and collaboration among researchers and graduate students in the entire Midwest. It is open to everyone who wishes to attend and to any Midwestern institution carrying out topological research.
