Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

第十届研究生拓扑与几何年会将于2012年3月31日至4月1日在印第安纳大学布鲁明顿举行。大会将有来自全国各地的100多名各级研究生参加。会议将由24名研究生就几何学/拓扑学的解释性和原创性研究课题进行30分钟的演讲；两位在各自领域都是杰出的演讲者的全体演讲者：Jacob Lurie(哈佛大学)的代数拓扑学和Andras Stipsicz(普林斯顿大学)的几何拓扑学；四位受邀的年轻教员演讲者：Andrew Blumberg(德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)、Julia Elisenda Grigsby(波士顿学院)、Adam Simon Levine(布兰迪斯大学)和Angelica Osorno(芝加哥大学)。这次会议的主题很广泛：拓扑学和几何学。会议的主题包括：双曲几何、三维流形、同伦理论、辛几何、动力学、纽结理论、余边理论、范畴理论、TeichMuller理论、四流形、微分拓扑学、几何群论、代数K-理论等。参与者来自数十所不同的学校，包括各年龄段的研究生。虽然有许多专门讨论拓扑学和几何学的会议，但这一次是专门为研究生举办的。在这次会议上演讲的经历让研究生们提高了他们的演讲技能，并成长为更有效的沟通者。由于有机会结识相关领域的其他学生，这种环境还鼓励现在和整个参与者的职业生涯中进行合作。几何学和拓扑学都是不断发展的数学领域，与动力系统、物理、计算机科学和数学生物学等许多其他研究领域有着深刻的联系。这次会议旨在进一步研究和交流这些领域的研究，并鼓励和鼓励这些领域的研究生。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.math.indiana.edu/gstgc.。

The tenth annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is to be held March 31-April 1, 2012, at Indiana University, Bloomington. The conference will involves more than 100 graduate students of all levels from all over the country. The conference will consist of 24 graduate student 30 minute talks on expository and original research topics in geometry/topology; two plenary speakers who are both prominent in their respective fields and excellent expositors: Jacob Lurie (Harvard University) in algebraic topology and Andras Stipsicz (Princeton University) in geometric topology; four invited young faculty speakers: Andrew Blumberg (University of Texas, Austin), Julia Elisenda Grigsby (Boston College), Adam Simon Levine (Brandeis University), and Angelica Osorno (University of Chicago). The topic of this conference is broad: topology and geometry. There will be talks in many of the following subfields: hyperbolic geometry, three-manifolds, homotopy theory, symplectic geometry, dynamics, knot theory, cobordism theory, category theory, Teichmuller theory, four-manifolds, differential topology, geometric group theory, algebraic K-theory, and more.This conference provides a venue for communication among young mathematicians from different geographic regions. Participants come from dozens of different schools, and include graduate students at all years of study. Although there are many conferences dedicated to topology and geometry, this one is uniquely dedicated to graduate students. The experience of presenting at this conference allows graduate students to refine their speaking skills and grow into more effective communicators. Because of the opportunity to meet other students in related fields, the environment also encourages collaboration now and throughout the participants' careers. Both geometry and topology are growing mathematical fields with deep connections to many other areas of research, such as dynamical systems, physics, computer science, and mathematical biology. This conference serves to further research and communication about research in these areas, and to enable and encourage graduate students in these fields.
