The 2013 Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

第十一届研究生拓扑与几何年会将于2013年4月6日至4月7日在圣母大学举行。这次会议包括来自不同地理位置的100多名处于不同职业阶段的研究生。会议日程安排广泛：24名研究生就几何/拓扑学的说明性和原创性研究主题进行了30分钟的演讲；两名全体演讲者丹·弗里德(得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)和伯克哈德·威尔金(明斯特)；以及六名特邀教职人员演讲：大卫·阿亚拉(哈佛大学)、克拉克·巴里克(麻省理工学院)、阿莱西奥·菲加利(得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)、费尔南多·加拉兹-加西亚(明斯特大学)、安娜·丽塔·皮雷斯(康奈尔大学)和加博·塞凯利希迪(圣母大学)。这次会议将包括广泛的拓扑学和几何学的主题：双曲几何，正曲率几何，整体分析，3-流形，同伦理论，辛几何，动力学，纽结理论，协边理论，范畴理论，Teichm#Uller理论，4-流形，微分拓扑学，几何群论，代数K-理论，等等。参与者包括处于职业生涯各个阶段的研究生。这是为数不多的专门为研究生举办的拓扑学和几何学会议之一。参加这次会议的学生有机会了解尖端研究并磨练他们的沟通和网络技能。几何学和拓扑学是基本的数学领域，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。本次会议旨在促进关于这些领域研究的研究和交流，并支持和鼓励这些领域的研究生。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.nd.edu/~conf/gstgc13。

The eleventh annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is to be held April 6-April 7, 2013, at the University of Notre Dame. The conference includes a geographically diverse group of over 100 graduate students at various stages of their careers. There is a broad range of talks in the schedule: 24 graduate student 30 minute talks on expository and original research topics in geometry/topology; two plenary speakers, Dan Freed (UT Austin) and Burkhard Wilking (Münster); and six invited young faculty speakers, David Ayala (Harvard), Clark Barwick (MIT), Alessio Figalli (UT Austin), Fernando Galaz-García (Münster), Ana Rita Pires (Cornell) and Gábor Székelyhidi (Notre Dame). This conference will include a wide range of topics in topology and geometry: hyperbolic geometry, geometry of positive curvature, global analysis, 3-manifolds, homotopy theory, symplectic geometry, dynamics, knot theory, cobordism theory, category theory, Teichm#uller theory, 4-manifolds, dfferential topology, geometric group theory, algebraic K-theory, and more.This conference provides a venue for communication among young mathematicians from different geographic regions. Participants include graduate students at all stages of their careers. This is one of the few conferences in topology and geometry that is dedicated to graduate students. Student participants at this conference have the opportunity to learn about cutting edge research and to hone their communication and networking skills. Geometry and topology are fundamental 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 foster research and communication about research in these areas, and to enable and encourage graduate students in these fields.
