Twenty-sixth Summer Conference on General Topology and its Applications

第26届拓扑学及其应用夏季会议将于2011年7月26日至29日在纽约城市大学城市学院举行。该系列会议涵盖了许多拓扑学领域。今年的专题课程包括：动力学与应用、集合论拓扑学、拓扑群与半群、非对称拓扑学以及泛函分析中的拓扑学方法。每届会议都有一名相关的全体发言者。有关如何贡献演讲的更多细节和说明，请访问：http://topann.comyr.com/SumConf2011.htmlWith微积分的发明带来了理解极限、连续性和形状的需要，这些东西比经典的几何图形更普遍。由此产生的数学分支是拓扑学，其最新的流行语之一是“混沌理论”(与“动力学”相关，研究重复应用连续函数的结果)。除了动力学课程外，还将有集合论拓扑学、拓扑群和泛函分析的课程，其中集合论拓扑学考虑可以定义极限和连续性的空间，泛函分析讨论拓扑学和代数之间的相互作用。剩下的课程是关于不对称拓扑学的，这是一个在计算机逻辑中变得有用的话题，以及那些只能使用有限数量的点的无限空间的表示方式，例如电视和计算机屏幕。

The Twenty-sixth Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications will be held at the City College of New York, CUNY, on July 26-29, 2011. The conference series covers many areas in topology. This year's special sessions are in: Dynamics and Applications, Set-Theoretic Topology, Topological Groups and Semigroups, Asymmetric Topology, and Topological Methods in Functional Analysis. Each session has an associated plenary speaker. More details and instructions on how to contribute talks can be found at: http://topann.comyr.com/SumConf2011.htmlWith the invention of calculus came the need to understand limits, continuity, and shapes more general than classical geometric ones. The resulting branch of mathematics is topology, and among its more recent catch phrases is "chaos theory" (related to "dynamics", which studies the results of applying continuous functions repeatedly). In addition to a dynamics session there will be sessions in set-theoretic topology which considers spaces where limits and continuity can be defined, in topological groups and functional analysis which discuss uses of the interplay between topology and algebra. The remaining session is in asymmetric topology, a topic that has become useful in computer logic and the sorts of representations of infinite spaces by those where only a finite number of points can be used, such as with television and computer screens.
