The Cornell Topology Conference

该奖项支持参加在康奈尔大学举行的一系列年度会议以及2015年5月8日至10日举行的下一次会议的三次会议。会议系列的主题范围是代数、微分、几何拓扑学和相关主题。该系列会议为发展和传播广泛的研究成果提供了一个重要的舞台，自1963年以来一直是美国东北部和其他地区拓扑学家和地质学家数学生活中的一股力量。它具有广泛的跨学科风格和便于协作的格式。会议以面向研究生和非专业人士的介绍性日开始。培训的效果是通过分发课堂讲稿和小组讨论的总结来扩大的。每年大约有10位演讲者被邀请，他们来自拓扑学及其周围的不同主题领域。每年选择一个重点领域，从中吸引约三分之一的演讲者；这使人们能够更深入地关注正在经历快速变化的领域，并响应拓扑结构朝着专业化和跨学科活动的趋势。对于2015年的会议，重点领域将是“在负弯曲空间上发挥作用的团体”。该系列会议的更广泛的影响包括：(A)训练有素的拓扑学家群体，能够超越次级专业的界限；(B)更加多样化的数学劳动力；(C)更快地将年轻的拓扑学家融入当前的研究领域；(D)加强不同拓扑学领域的研究人员之间的合作。会议系列的网址是http://www.math.cornell.edu/~festival/.

This award supports participation in three meetings in a series of annual conferences held at Cornell University and next convening May 8-10, 2015. The conference series subject area is algebraic, differential, and geometric topology and allied subjects. The conference series provides a significant arena for the development and dissemination of a wide array of research results and has been a force in the mathematical life of topologists and geometers in the northeastern United States and beyond since 1963. It has a broad, interdisciplinary flavor and collaboration-friendly format. The meetings begin with an introductory day aimed at graduate students and non-specialists. The training effects are extended by dissemination of lecture notes and summaries of panel discussions.Approximately ten speakers are invited each year, from a variety of subject areas in and around topology. Each year an area of emphasis is chosen from which about a third of the speakers are drawn; this allows deeper focus on fields undergoing rapid change and is responsive to the trends in topology toward specialization and cross-disciplinary activity. For the 2015 meeting, the area of emphasis will be "groups acting on negatively curved spaces." The broader impacts of the conference series include (a) a more broadly-trained community of topologists, able to transcend the boundaries of sub-specialties; (b) a more diverse mathematical workforce; (c) a more rapid integration of younger topologists into areas of current research; and (d) the enhancement of collaboration among researchers in different areas of topology.
