Conference Travel Funding: Alpine Conference on Algebraic and Applied Topology

阿尔卑斯山代数和应用拓扑学会议将于8月15日至8月21日在瑞士萨斯阿尔马格尔举行。这次会议将汇集代数拓扑学的理论方面和拓扑学日益广泛的科学应用方面的专家。会议计划将包括受邀的全体演讲者的演讲以及其他与会者的贡献演讲。全体演讲者将向与会者通报各自领域的最新进展，并就未来工作的可能方向提出见解。所有参与者都将有机会与该领域的其他专家讨论他们的工作并接受他们的反馈，继续现有的合作并形成新的合作，并更多地了解其专业领域以外可能有用的工具和技术。这一奖项将确保美国代数拓扑界在这个重要的会议上得到很好的代表，特别是来自美国的早期职业拓扑学家有机会参加。会议的特邀全体演讲者是Agnes Beaudry(芝加哥)、Andrew Blumberg(德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)、Pedro Boavida de Brito(Louvain-la-Neuve)、David Chataur(里尔)、Cristina Costoya(科鲁纳)、Emanuele Dotto(麻省理工学院)、John Greenlees(谢菲尔德)、John Heller(杜克大学)、Lars Hesselholt(哥本哈根)、Marc Hoyois(麻省理工学院)、Nitu Kitchloo(约翰斯·霍普金斯大学)、Vidit Nanda(宾夕法尼亚大学)和Vesna Stojanoska(UIUC)。通过全体演讲者的选择，会议将涵盖代数拓扑学中广泛的主题，包括色和稳定同伦理论，流形和函子演算，K-理论，同伦理论和代数几何，等变稳定同伦理论和交换代数，同伦理论在群论中的应用，以及算子和有理同伦理论。此外，本次会议将侧重于代数拓扑学技术在应用中的使用，包括数据分析、形状识别和网络。这次会议将使研究人员能够综述代数拓扑学的最新进展，为理论代数拓扑学家提供一个了解最近发展的拓扑学应用的论坛，并给应用拓扑学家一个熟悉最新理论结果和方法的机会。欲了解会议的更多信息，请访问会议网站：http://www.math.univ-paris13.fr/arolla2016/.。

The Alpine Conference on Algebraic and Applied Topology will take place August 15th through August 21st in Saas-Almagell, Switzerland. The conference will bring together experts in both the theoretical aspects of algebraic topology and the growing range of scientific applications of topology. The conference program will consist of lectures by the invited plenary speakers, together with contributed talks from other conference participants. The plenary speakers will inform participants about recent advances in their fields, and provide insight into possible directions for future work. All participants will have the opportunity to discuss their work with and receive feedback from others experts in the field, to continue existing and form new collaborations, and to learn more about potentially useful tools and techniques outside their areas of expertise. This award will ensure that the US algebraic topology community is well-represented at this important conference, and, in particular, that early-career topologists from the US have the opportunity to participate. The invited plenary speakers for the conference are Agnes Beaudry (Chicago), Andrew Blumberg (UT-Austin), Pedro Boavida de Brito (Louvain-la-Neuve), David Chataur (Lille), Cristina Costoya (Coruna), Emanuele Dotto (MIT), John Greenlees (Sheffield), John Harer (Duke), Lars Hesselholt (Copenhagen), Marc Hoyois (MIT), Nitu Kitchloo (Johns Hopkins), Vidit Nanda (Penn), and Vesna Stojanoska (UIUC). As evidenced by the choice of plenary speakers, the conference will cover a broad spectrum of subjects within algebraic topology, including chromatic and stable homotopy theory, manifolds and functor calculus, K-theory, homotopy theory and algebraic geometry, equivariant stable homotopy theory and commutative algebra, applications of homotopy theory to group theory, and operads and rational homotopy theory. In addition, this conference will feature an emphasis on the use of techniques from algebraic topology in applications, including data analysis, shape recognition, and networks. This conference will enable researchers to survey the state of the art in algebraic topology, provide theoretical algebraic topologists a forum in which to learn about recently developed applications of topology, and give applied topologists an opportunity to become acquainted with the latest theoretical results and methods.
