2014 Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference

这项赠款支持春季拓扑和动态系统会议在里士满大学在里士满，弗吉尼亚州从2014年3月13日至3月15日。 春季拓扑会议是美国最大和最成功的年度拓扑会议之一。会议通常吸引来自美国，加拿大和墨西哥的150-200名与会者，并且越来越多地来自欧洲，亚洲甚至新西兰。会议允许与会者与大量的活跃的拓扑学家，无论是内部和外部的专业。 会议已扩大到包括拓扑学的大多数主要分支，以及动力系统，现在包括集理论/一般拓扑学，连续统理论，动力系统，几何拓扑学和几何群论的会议。 这笔赠款将用于支付18名全体/半全体发言人以及缺乏机构旅行支助的研究生和年轻研究人员的旅费。 会议的参与者来自广泛的机构，从小型文理学院到研究型大学，从研究生到高级研究人员。 大多数参与者没有同事在他们的家庭部门与研究兴趣接近自己。他们依靠这次会议，以跟上拓扑和动力系统的最新工作，与同事谁做的研究兴趣接近自己，并提出他们自己已经能够作出贡献。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网站site.http://math.richmond.edu/resources/topology-conference/index.html

This grant supports the Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference at the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia from March 13 to March 15, 2014. The Spring Topology Conference is one of the largest and most successful annual topology conferences in the United States. The conference generally attracts 150-200 participants from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and, increasingly, from Europe, Asia, and even New Zealand. The conference allows participants to interact with a large number of active topologists, both within and outside their specialties. The conference has expanded to encompass most of the major branches of topology, as well as dynamical systems, and now includes sessions in set theoretic/general topology, continuum theory, dynamical systems, geometric topology, and geometric group theory. This grant will support travel for the 18 plenary/semi-plenary speakers and for graduate students and younger researchers who lack institutional support for travel. Participants in the sessions come from a broad range of institutions from small liberal arts colleges to research universities, and range from graduate students to senior researchers. Most participants do not have colleagues in their home departments with research interests close to their own. They rely on this conference to keep up with recent work in topology and dynamical systems, meet with colleagues who do have research interests close to their own, and present what they themselves have been able to contribute.
