2016 Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

该奖项支持将于2016年4月2日至3日在印第安纳大学布卢明顿举行的第十四届年度研究生拓扑和几何会议。这次会议的重点是研究生，将为来自不同地理区域的处于不同数学准备阶段的年轻数学家提供一个富有成效的互动场所。报告将涵盖广泛的主题，从拓扑和几何，与许多其他研究领域，如动力系统，物理学，计算机科学和数学生物学的深入联系。在一个研究密集和高度协作的环境中，研究生和早期职业数学家将通过讲座和研讨会完善他们的沟通技巧，了解新项目，并发展重要的联系。会议将讨论代数拓扑，低维拓扑，辛几何，几何群论，代数几何，以及拓扑和几何的其他分支。大约200名研究生将来自全国各地参加。报告将包括28个研究生演讲，每次30分钟，主题为说明性和研究性；三场由各自领域的杰出演讲者和优秀的讲者进行的全体会议演讲：Robert Lipshitz（哥伦比亚大学/俄勒冈大学）、Paul Goerss（西北大学）和Nathan Dunfield（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校）；邀请青年教师Jeffrey Meier（印第安纳大学）、Ina Petkova（哥伦比亚大学）、Eric Peterson（哈佛大学）、Kirsten Wickelgren（佐治亚理工学院）、Maxime Fortier Bourque（多伦多大学）和Tengren Zhang（加州理工学院）进行六场讲座。会议网站是https://www.indiana.edu/~gstc/。

This award supports the fourteenth annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference to be held April 2-3, 2016, at Indiana University, Bloomington. With its focus on graduate students, this conference will provide a venue for productive interaction among young mathematicians who are at various stages of mathematical preparation and come from several different geographic regions. Presentations will cover a broad range of topics from topology and geometry, with deep connections to many other areas of research, such as dynamical systems, physics, computer science, and mathematical biology. In a research intensive and highly collaborative environment, graduate students and early career mathematicians will refine their communication skills through lectures and seminars, learn about new projects, and develop crucial contacts. The conference talks will be in the areas of in algebraic topology, low-dimensional topology, symplectic geometry, geometric group theory, and algebraic geometry, and other branches of topology and geometry. Approximately 200 graduate students will come from all over the country to participate. Presentations will include 28 graduate student talks, at 30 minutes each, on expository and research topics; three lectures by plenary speakers who are prominent in their respective fields and excellent expositors: Robert Lipshitz (Columbia University/University of Oregon), Paul Goerss (Northwestern University), and Nathan Dunfield (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign); six lectures by invited young faculty speakers: Jeffrey Meier (Indiana University), Ina Petkova (Columbia University), Eric Peterson (Harvard University), Kirsten Wickelgren (Georgia Tech), Maxime Fortier Bourque (University of Toronto), and Tengren Zhang (Caltech).
