This grant provides support for the "CUNY workshop on differential cohomologies" to be held at the CUNY Graduate Center, August 12-14 of 2014. The topics of this workshop are at the forefront of 21st-century mathematics, playing an increasingly important role in topology, geometry and the physicists' quantum field theories. This workshop will provide a fruitful exchange between leading researchers in several interrelated areas, will expose graduate students to research at the crossroads of these topics, and will facilitate interaction between these students and senior researchers. In this way, recent discoveries can effectively be shared and communicated, and new questions and directions for research will arise, thereby advancing knowledge in this area of mathematics the related sciences. The workshop organizers encourage the participation of students and researchers who are members of groups that are underrepresented in mathematics. The scope of this workshop will consist of differential cohomology theories, including ordinary cohomology and differential K-theory, abelian gerbes, algebraic K-theory, free loop spaces, and connections with topological field theories. The organizers plan to host approximately forty participants, including twenty or so local attendees, and the remaining twenty receiving travel and accommodations support by this grant. The workshop goals are to bring together researchers in these areas, from graduate students to senior researchers, to present fundamental material as well as to exchange ideas on recent progress and to lay out new directions for research.

这笔赠款为将于2014年8月12日至14日在纽约城市大学研究生院举行的“纽约城市大学差分上同调研讨会”提供支持。本次研讨会的主题处于21世纪数学的前沿，在拓扑学、几何学和物理学家的量子场论中发挥着越来越重要的作用。这次研讨会将在几个相关领域的领先研究人员之间提供富有成效的交流，让研究生接触到这些主题的十字路口的研究，并将促进这些学生和高级研究人员之间的互动。通过这种方式，可以有效地分享和交流最新的发现，并将出现新的研究问题和方向，从而促进这一数学领域和相关科学的知识。研讨会的组织者鼓励学生和研究人员参加，这些学生和研究人员是在数学中代表性不足的群体的成员。本研讨会的内容包括微分上同调理论，包括普通上同调和微分K-理论，交换范畴，代数K-理论，自由圈空间，以及与拓扑场论的联系。组织者计划接待大约40名与会者，其中包括20名左右的当地与会者，其余20名通过这笔赠款获得旅行和住宿支持。讲习班的目标是将这些领域的研究人员聚集在一起，从研究生到高级研究人员，介绍基本材料，就最近的进展交换意见，并为研究制定新的方向。研讨会的网址为：http://qcpages.qc.cuny.edu/~swilson/cunyworkshop14.html.。
