2015 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference, 02/01/15 - 01/31/16, Oklahoma State UniversityThis grant supports participation in the Redbud Geometry and Topology Conferences, to be held in the Spring and Fall of 2015. The conferences focus on three-dimensional geometry and topology, the study of different kinds of geometry and shapes of three-dimensional spaces. The conferences are part of an ongoing series of meetings held at universities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, intended to increase interaction and collaboration among young and senior mathematicians in the area. The Spring conference will be held at Oklahoma State University and will feature prominent speakers from across the country and abroad, as well as a graduate student workshop. The Fall conference will be held at the University of Arkansas, with speakers and participants mainly from the University of Arkansas, the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University.The Spring conference will take place April 3-5 2015. The focus of the conference is contact geometry and hyperbolic geometry on low dimensional manifolds. In the hyperbolic thread, the conference will have several talks (by David Futer (Temple U), Efstratia Kalfagianni (Michigan State U), and Jessica Purcell (Brigham Young U)) on the relationships between the combinatorics of knot diagrams and the hyperbolic geometry of their complements, and the connections to quantum invariants such as the Jones polynomial. In the contact thread, the conference will have talks (by Ken Baker (U of Miami), John Etnyre (Georgia Tech), Matt Hedden (Michigan State U), Emmy Murphy (MIT), Sinem Onaran (Hacettepe U), Laura Starkston (U of Texas, Austin), and Andy Wand (U of Nantes)) on recent developments in contact topology, in particular the characterization of tight contact structures in terms of the supporting open book decomposition, the support genus of a knot, and the existence and classification of contact structures in higher dimensions. The first day of the conference will consist of a graduate workshop intended to give background, to help junior researchers engage more fully with the rest of the conference. The meeting will foster increased interaction among young mathematicians in the region. Conference website: http://math.okstate.edu/redbud

2015 Redbud几何/拓扑会议，2015年2月1日- 2016年1月31日，俄克拉何马州立大学这项资助支持参加将于2015年春季和秋季举行的Redbud几何和拓扑会议。会议的重点是三维几何和拓扑，研究不同种类的几何和三维空间的形状。这些会议是在阿肯色州和俄克拉何马州的大学举行的一系列会议的一部分，旨在增加该地区年轻和高级数学家之间的互动和合作。春季会议将在俄克拉荷马州立大学举行，届时将有来自全国各地和国外的知名演讲者，以及一个研究生研讨会。秋季会议将在阿肯色大学举行，演讲者和与会者主要来自阿肯色大学、俄克拉荷马大学和俄克拉荷马州立大学。春季会议将于2015年4月3日至5日举行。会议的重点是低维流形上的接触几何和双曲几何。在双曲方面，会议将有几场演讲（由David Futer（天普大学），Efstratia Kalfagianni（密歇根州立大学）和Jessica Purcell（杨百翰大学）进行），讨论结图的组合学和它们的补体的双曲几何之间的关系，以及与量子不变量（如Jones多项式）的联系。在接触线方面，会议将有关于接触拓扑的最新发展的会谈（由肯·贝克（迈阿密大学）、约翰·埃特尼（佐治亚理工学院）、马特·海登（密歇根州立大学）、艾米·墨菲（麻省理工学院）、西纳姆·奥纳兰（哈希特佩特大学）、劳拉·斯塔克斯顿（德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）和安迪·旺德（南特大学）），特别是紧接触结构在支持开书分解方面的表征，一个结的支持格，以及高维接触结构的存在与分类。会议的第一天将包括一个研究生研讨会，旨在提供背景，以帮助初级研究人员更充分地参与会议的其余部分。会议将促进该地区年轻数学家之间的互动。会议网站：http://math.okstate.edu/redbud
