Young Topologists Meeting 2016

这笔旅行补助金为美国参加2016年7月4日至8日在丹麦哥本哈根大学举行的2016年青年拓扑学家会议提供了部分支持。青年拓扑学家会议(YTM)是一年一度的欧洲会议，重点关注拓扑学领域的研究生和年轻研究人员的工作，吸引了来自世界各地的与会者。在YTM，初级拓扑学家向大量国际观众介绍他们的工作，并参加由资深拓扑学家教授的小型课程。会议为与会者提供了认识新同事和导师以及形成研究合作的机会。它的开放和支持的氛围鼓励年轻的数学家，包括那些来自代表不足的群体的人，追求拓扑学的研究事业。YTM是一年一度的活动，始于2007年，在丹麦哥本哈根和瑞士洛桑之间交替举行。会议的特点是研究生和年轻研究人员的演讲平行进行，涵盖了拓扑学的广泛主题。除了这些讲座外，还有三位高级拓扑学家的小型课程，讨论代数拓扑学与其他领域的联系，包括表示论和K-理论、几何拓扑学和数学物理。今年，美国哈佛大学的Akhil Mathew将开设一门关于Mackey结构和代数K-理论的课程。英国剑桥大学的Oscar Randall-Williams和丹麦哥本哈根大学的Nathalie Wahl将讲授同调稳定性、微分同态群、协边范畴和拓扑场论等课程。会议网页可在http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2016/ytm2016/上查阅。

This travel grant provides partial support for U.S. participation in the Young Topologists Meeting 2016, held at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, July 4th-8th, 2016. The Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) is an annual European conference focused on the work of graduate students and young researchers in topology, that brings in participants from all over the world. At the YTM, junior topologists present their work to a large international audience, and also attend mini-courses taught by senior topologists. The conference provides opportunities for the participants to meet new colleagues and mentors, and to form research collaborations. Its open and supportive atmosphere encourages young mathematicians, including those from underrepresented groups, to pursue research careers in topology.The YTM is an annual event, first started in 2007, and alternating between Copenhagen, Denmark and Lausanne, Switzerland. The conference features parallel sessions of contributed talks by graduate students and young researchers, covering a broad spectrum of topics in topology. In addition to these talks, there will be mini-courses by three senior topologists, discussing the connections between algebraic topology and other fields, including representation theory and K-theory, geometric topology, and mathematical physics. This year Akhil Mathew (Harvard University, US) will give a course on Mackey structure and algebraic K-theory. Oscar Randall-Williams (Cambridge University, UK) and Nathalie Wahl (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) will give courses on homological stability, diffeomorphism groups, cobordism categories, and topological field theories.
