Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

第十二届年度研究生拓扑与几何会议将于2014年4月5日至6日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行。这次会议将汇集全国大约170名来自数学专业的研究生。讨论和呈现的主题将包括几何学和拓扑学的广泛子领域，包括低维拓扑学、代数拓扑学、代数几何、辛几何和微分几何。来自加州大学伯克利分校的罗比恩·柯比和宾夕法尼亚大学的托尼·潘特夫两位杰出的教师将举行两场全体会议，让研究生们接触开创性的研究。此外，还将有六场由年轻教师主持的讲座，他们将介绍新的研究途径和重要的开放性问题。大多数讲座（至少24次）将由研究生参与者进行。他们将有机会向该领域的同行解释他们的研究和原创研究。会议将在会议间隙提供足够的时间，让参与者提问，讨论他们对开放问题的看法，交换意见，并与未来的同事建立友谊。第十二届年度研究生拓扑与几何会议是专门针对研究生的最大会议之一。它为研究生提供了宝贵的训练经验，使他们能够向包括该领域的专家、渴望学习的初学者和相关领域的专家在内的广大听众展示自己的作品。听教师和研究生的演讲可以让参与者接触到广泛的观点，并让他们了解到自己所在大学以外的数学家在问题上取得的进展。与同学们讨论共同的数学兴趣，这是将来共同研究的前提。研究生几何与拓扑会议为在一系列相互关联的领域中建立联系、交流、新一代的美国数学家提供了基础。有关会议的更多信息请访问：http://ma.utexas.edu/conferences/gstgc14/。

The twelfth annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference will be held at the University of Texas at Austin, April 5 and 6, 2014. The conference will bring together approximately 170 graduate students from mathematics programs across the country. The topics discussed and presented will include a wide range of subfields in geometry and topology including low-dimensional topology, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, and differential geometry. There will be two plenary talks by distinguished faculty members, Robion Kirby from the University of California Berkeley and Tony Pantev from the University of Pennsylvania, to expose graduate students to groundbreaking research. There will also be six talks by young faculty members who will present new avenues of research and important open questions. The majority of the talks (at least 24) will be given by graduate student participants. They will have the opportunity to explain their studies and original research to their peers in the field. The conference will provide sufficient time in between talks for participants to ask questions, discuss their perspectives on open problems, exchange ideas, and build friendships with a network of future coworkers.The twelfth annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is one of the largest meetings aimed specifically at graduate students. It provides a valuable training experience for graduate students to present their work to a large audience which includes specialists in that field, beginners eager to learn, and specialists in related fields. Listening to talks by faculty and graduate students exposes participants to ideas from a wide range of perspectives and informs them of progress being made on problems by mathematicians outside of their home university. Discussions with fellow students about common mathematical interests precedes joint research in the future. The Graduate Student Geometry and Topology Conference provides the groundwork for a connected, communicative, new generation of US mathematicians in a range of interrelated fields.More information about the conference can be found at: http://ma.utexas.edu/conferences/gstgc14/.
