The Georgia Topology Conference is an annual event which has established itself as a mainstay of the American topology community over the past 50 years. It takes place at the University of Georgia in Athens in the Spring or Summer. The focus of the conference is a subfield of topology which varies from year to year; recent topics have included three- and four-dimensional manifolds, knot theory, contact and symplectic topology, and the calculus of functors. Each year, the conference gathers a core of senior researchers together with a larger group of young mathematicians, mostly recent Ph. D.'s and graduate students. Participation by members of under-represented groups is encouraged and funded; in particular the speakers and organizers generally include several women. The conference format is designed both to help disseminate important new research and to provide a formative experience for early-career mathematicians. Broadly speaking, topology is the study of the properties of a space (such as the universe that we live in) which are preserved when the space is continuously deformed. The subject has many connections to physics and has applications to such topics as robotics and image analysis. This conference is designed to serve as a venue for new approaches to fundamental questions in topology and to facilitate the career development of young mathematicians working in the field.More information is available on the conference website:http://www.ams.org/meetings/calendar/2011_may18-22_athens.html

佐治亚拓扑会议是一个年度活动，在过去的50年里，它已经成为美国拓扑社区的支柱。课程在雅典的佐治亚大学举行，时间为春季或夏季。会议的重点是拓扑的子领域，每年都在变化；最近的主题包括三维和四维流形，结理论，接触和辛拓扑，以及函子演算。每年，该会议都会聚集一批核心资深研究人员和一大批年轻数学家，其中大多数是刚获得博士学位的。学生和研究生。鼓励和资助代表性不足群体的成员参与；特别是发言者和组织者通常包括几位妇女。会议的形式旨在帮助传播重要的新研究，并为早期职业数学家提供形成经验。从广义上讲，拓扑学是研究空间（比如我们生活的宇宙）在空间不断变形时保持不变的特性。这门学科与物理学有许多联系，并应用于机器人和图像分析等主题。本次会议旨在为解决拓扑学基本问题的新方法提供场所，并促进在该领域工作的年轻数学家的职业发展。更多信息请访问会议网站：http://www.ams.org/meetings/calendar/2011_may18-22_athens.html
