This award supports participation in the Redbud Topology Conference, to be held in the Spring and the Fall of 2014. The main subject of the conference is low-dimensional topology, which includes the study of spaces in three dimensions, using algebraic methods such as group theory. The aim is to investigate the symmetries of 3-dimensional space, which in turn gives insight to better understand the possible shapes and properties. This conference is part of an ongoing series held at institutions in Arkansas and Oklahoma, which foster interactions among young and senior mathematicians in the region. It features two meetings: a graduate student and young researchers workshop in the spring, and an advanced research conference in the fall.The Spring 2014 Redbud Topology Conference will be held April 11-13, 2014 on the Norman campus of the University of Oklahoma. The theme of this conference is centered on current topics in geometric group theory related to free groups, surface groups, their automorphism groups, and free-by-cyclic and surface-by-cyclic groups. The invited speakers are Matt Clay (U of Arkansas), Spencer Dowdall (U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Daniel Groves (U of Illinois at Chicago), Eriko Hironaka (Florida State U), Chris Leininger ((U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Johanna Mangahas (Brown U), Jason Manning (U at Buffalo), Ben McReynolds (Purdue U), Alexandra Pettet (U of British Columbia), Sam Taylor (U of Texas at Austin), and Alden Walker (U of Chicago). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers. The meeting will foster interactions and strengthen research ties among young mathematicians in the region.Conference website: http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/

该奖项支持参加将于 2014 年春季和秋季举行的紫荆花拓扑会议​​。会议的主要主题是低维拓扑，其中包括使用群论等代数方法研究三维空间。 目的是研究 3 维空间的对称性，从而为更好地理解可能的形状和属性提供见解。 这次会议是阿肯色州和俄克拉荷马州机构正在进行的系列会议的一部分，该系列会议促进了该地区年轻和资深数学家之间的互动。它包括两次会议：春季的研究生和年轻研究人员研讨会，以及秋季的高级研究会议。2014 年春季紫荆花拓扑会议​​将于 2014 年 4 月 11 日至 13 日在俄克拉荷马大学诺曼校区举行。本次会议的主题集中在几何群论中与自由群、曲面群、其自同构群以及自由循环群和表面循环群相关的当前主题。受邀演讲者包括 Matt Clay（阿肯色大学）、Spencer Dowdall（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校）、Daniel Groves（伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校）、Eriko Hironaka（佛罗里达州立大学）、Chris Leininger（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校）、Johanna Mangahas（布朗大学）、Jason Manning（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校） 布法罗大学）、Ben McReynolds（普渡大学）、Alexandra Pettet（不列颠哥伦比亚大学）、Sam Taylor（德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）和 Alden Walker（芝加哥大学）。 会议首先举办了一个研讨会，旨在增强研究生和初级研究人员的经验。 会议将促进该地区年轻数学家之间的互动并加强研究联系。会议网站： http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/
