The 10th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop, August 26 - 30, 2014

第十届William Rowan哈密尔顿几何和拓扑研讨会是为期五天的同调和几何指导研讨会，将于2014年8月26日至30日在爱尔兰都柏林的汉密尔顿数学研究所(HMI)举行。威廉·罗文·哈密尔顿几何和拓扑学研讨会的目标是调查当前几何和拓扑学研究的重要领域中的共同主题和技术，并支持对这些领域感兴趣的初级研究人员。研讨会将汇集几何和拓扑学的顶尖研究人员，以及对低维几何、拓扑学和几何群论相关问题特别感兴趣的研究生和初级研究人员，探讨这些领域研究的前沿问题。来自不同领域的专业知识汇聚在一起，将产生新的合作项目，并拓宽参与者的研究视野。工作坊将包括为研究生和初级研究人员举办的为期两天的小型课程，然后是为期三天的讲座系列。研讨会的目的是调查当前几何学和拓扑学研究的重要领域中的共同主题和技术。今年研讨会的主要主题包括：同调不变量在覆盖下的行为，4-流形同调类的极小亏格代表，以及具有左序基本群的流形的同调性质。研讨会的网站是http://www.hamilton.tcd.ie/events/gt/gt2014.htm

The 10th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop is a five-day, directed workshop on Homology and Geometry, to be held at the Hamilton Mathematical Institute (HMI) in Dublin, Ireland, August 26-30, 2014. The goal of the William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop is to investigate common themes and techniques among significant areas of current research in geometry and topology and to support junior researchers interested in these areas. The workshop will bring together leading researchers in geometry and topology with graduates students and junior researchers who have a special interest in problems related to low-dimensional geometry, topology and geometric group theory, to investigate questions at the forefront of research in these areas. The confluence of expertise from different areas will result in new collaborative projects, and in broadening the research horizons of the participants.The workshop will consist of a two-day mini-course for graduate students and junior researchers, followed by a three day lecture series. The purpose of the workshop is to investigate common themes and techniques among significant areas of current research in geometry and topology. Major topics of this year's workshop include, the behavior of homology invariants under coverings, minimal genus representatives of 4-manifold homology classes, and homological properties of manifolds with left-orderable fundamental groups.The workshop website is located at http://www.hamilton.tcd.ie/events/gt/gt2014.htm
