The 40th Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences (SLS) will take place March 5th--7th, 2015, and the 41st Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences will take place April 14th--16th, 2016; both will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This grant supports travel and lodging, both for the expert speakers who have been invited, and for the graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and young professors who attend the conferences but do not have their own means of support. These conferences provide opportunities for dissemination of research results, discussions that lead to new discoveries and collaborations, and for professional development of the junior participants. The broader impact of the conferences also includes some events that will be supported entirely by the University of Arkansas, including a public mathematics lecture each year, and networking events for women in mathematics and for graduate students.More specifically, the 2015 conference will feature lectures by Professor Benson Farb of the University of Chicago on representation stability, and the 2016 conference will feature lectures by Professor Peter Ozsvath of Princeton University, on Heegaard Floer Homology. Both conferences will have talks by ten expert invited speakers in addition to the principal lecturer, as well as contributed talks by participants. The 2015 conference will explore sequences of representations of groups that arise in topology, geometric group theory, algebraic geometry, abstract algebra and other subjects, and make connections between these diverse fields. The 2016 conference will focus on new techniques and applications of Heegaard Floer Homology and Bordered Floer Homology to 3- and 4-manifolds, as well as to contact and symplectic topology.

在数学科学（SLS）的第40届春季系列讲座将于2015年3月5日-7日举行，在数学科学的第41届春季系列讲座将于2016年4月14日-16日举行;两者都将由数学科学系在阿肯色州，费耶特维尔，阿肯色州的大学主办。 该补助金支持旅行和住宿，无论是被邀请的专家演讲者，还是参加会议但没有自己的支持手段的研究生，博士后学者和年轻教授。 这些会议为传播研究成果、进行导致新发现和合作的讨论以及初级参与者的专业发展提供了机会。 这些会议的更广泛影响还包括一些将完全由阿肯色州大学支持的活动，包括每年的公共数学讲座，以及针对数学界女性和研究生的网络活动。更具体地说，2015年的会议将由芝加哥大学的本森·法布教授主讲关于代表稳定性的讲座，2016年的会议将由普林斯顿大学的Peter Ozsvath教授主讲Heegaard Floer Homology。这两个会议将有十个专家邀请演讲者除了主要讲师，以及参与者贡献的会谈。2015年的会议将探讨出现在拓扑，几何群论，代数几何，抽象代数和其他学科的群体表示序列，并使这些不同领域之间的联系。2016年的会议将集中在新的技术和应用Heegaard弗洛尔同调和边界弗洛尔同调3和4流形，以及接触和辛拓扑。 该系列会议的网站是http://math.uark.edu/3742.php。
