29th Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications, July 23-26, 2014

第29届拓扑及其应用夏季会议将于2014年7月23-26日在纽约城市大学斯塔滕岛学院举行。受现实世界中许多例子的启发，拓扑学是一个旨在研究空间形状的数学领域。它通常需要使用其他数学领域的工具，从而在拓扑学中产生不同的子域。会议的主要目标是将这些子领域的一批世界领先的研究人员聚集在一起，并为一次全面的会议提供一个单一的论坛，这将促进几个学科的研究方向和方法的交叉。特邀来稿演讲将在六个特别会议中进行：(1)不对称性及其应用，(2)连续统及其应用，(3)分层、层叠和吸引子，(4)几何拓扑学，(5)集合论和一般拓扑学，(6)泛函分析中的拓扑学。每届特别会议有一名全体发言者、一名半全体发言者和20至25名其他发言者发言。除了特别会议外，会议还包括为研究生和其他感兴趣的参与者举办的两个研讨会。鼓励和支持妇女和其他任职人数不足的群体成员参与。研究生和年轻的拓扑学家将获得参加会议的大量财政支持。会议网址：https://csivc.csi.cuny.edu/SumTopo2014

The 29th Summer Conference on Topology and Its Applications will be held July 23 - 26, 2014 at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. Motivated by many examples from the real world, topology is a mathematical field that aims to study the shape of a space. It often requires the use of tools from other mathematical fields, giving rise to various subfields in topology. The main goal of the conference is to bring together a group of the world's leading researchers in these subfields and to provide a single forum for a comprehensive meeting, which will promote cross-fertilization of research directions and methods across several disciplines. Invited contributed talks will be presented in the six special sessions: (1) Asymmetry and its Applications, (2) Continua with Applications, (3) Foliations, Laminations, and Attractors, (4) Geometric Topology, (5) Set-theoretic and General Topology, and (6) Topology in Functional Analysis. Each special session features one plenary speaker, one semi-plenary speaker and 20 to 25 other contributed presentations. In addition to the special sessions, the conference includes two workshops for graduate students and other interested participants. Participation by women and members of other underrepresented groups is encouraged and supported. Graduate students and young topologists will receive substantial financial support to attend the conference.Conference web site: https://csivc.csi.cuny.edu/SumTopo2014
