Conference Travel Funding: Manifolds, K-Theory, and Related Topics, June 23-27, 2014

流形，K理论和相关主题的会议将于2014年6月23日至27日在克罗地亚杜布罗夫尼克的大学间中心举行。 像这样的重点国际研究会议在数学突破性研究的发展和传播方面发挥着重要作用。 这次会议将作为一个论坛，研究人员可以宣布重大的新成果，并解释他们的想法，在该领域的其他专家，早在这些结果将出现在参考期刊。 与会议相关主题的研究人员在地理上分布广泛。 这次会议将为他们提供在同一地点共同工作的机会。 参与者将能够在该领域与其他人会面并向他们学习，继续合作并开发新的合作。 来自美国机构的参与者的资金将使这些参与者能够了解拓扑学前沿正在发生的事情，并分享他们的想法，并向来自欧洲和世界其他地区的拓扑学家学习。 这对于早期职业数学家来说尤其重要，因为他们正在扩大他们的研究兴趣，并寻找新的合作。 会议将汇集流形拓扑学，K理论和同伦理论的专家，以了解最新进展，并促进这些领域研究人员之间的合作。 会议的全体发言人将是Gunnar Carlsson（斯坦福大学），迈克尔程（阿默斯特），拉尔夫科恩（斯坦福大学）、比约恩邓达斯（卑尔根）、凯瑟琳·赫斯（洛桑联邦理工学院）、约翰·克莱因（韦恩州），尼克库恩（弗吉尼亚州），Ib Madsen（哥本哈根）、兰迪·麦卡锡（UIUC）、查尔斯·雷兹克（UIUC）、田中弘李（哈佛）、乌尔里克·蒂尔曼（牛津）、纳塔莉·瓦尔（哥本哈根）、什穆尔·温伯格（芝加哥）和迈克尔·韦斯（明斯特）。 全体发言人的工作反映了流形，K理论和同伦理论的接口的主要主题，这将是会议的重点。 这些主题包括映射空间的流形，演算的函子，因式分解的同源性，当地和全球结构的代数K-理论，同伦理论和应用的拓扑。 会议计划将包括全体演讲者的演讲，以及会议参与者的平行会议。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问https://sites.google.com/a/wellesley.edu/dubrovnik-topology-2014/。

The conference on Manifolds, K-theory, and Related Topics will take place June 23-27, 2014 at the Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Focused international research conferences such as this one play a fundamental role in the development and dissemination of ground-breaking research in mathematics. This conference will serve as a forum in which researchers can announce major new results and explain their ideas to other experts in the field, long before such results will appear in refereed journals. Researchers in topics related to the conference are widely scattered geographically. This conference will provide the opportunity for them to work together in the same place. Participants will be able to meet and learn from others in the field, continue collaborations, and develop new ones. Funding for participants from U.S. institutions will make it possible for these participants to learn about what is happening at the forefront of topology, and to share their ideas and learn from topologists from Europe and other parts of the world. This is especially important for early-career mathematicians as they are expanding their research interests, and looking for new collaborations. The conference will bring together experts in manifold topology, K-theory, and homotopy theory to learn about recent advances and promote collaboration among researchers in these fields. Plenary speakers for the conference will be Gunnar Carlsson (Stanford), Michael Ching (Amherst), Ralph Cohen (Stanford), Bjorn Dundas (Bergen), Kathryn Hess (EPFL), John Klein (Wayne State), Nick Kuhn (Virginia), Ib Madsen (Copenhagen), Randy McCarthy (UIUC), Charles Rezk (UIUC), Hiro Lee Tanaka (Harvard), Ulrike Tillmann (Oxford), Nathalie Wahl (Copenhagen), Shmuel Weinberger (Chicago) and Michael Weiss (Munster). The work of the plenary speakers reflects the major themes at the interface of manifolds, K-theory, and homotopy theory that will be the focus of the conference. These themes include mapping spaces of manifolds, the calculus of functors, factorization homology, the local and global structure of algebraic K-theory, homotopy theory, and applications of topology. The conference program will consist of lectures by the plenary speakers, together with parallel sessions of contributed talks by conference participants.
