Prague Topology Symposium

拓扑学是数学的一个分支，它通过对极限、连续性、连通性和收敛等概念的抽象来研究几何和分析的定性方面。这门学科是现代数学的核心，其丰富的历史可以追溯到一个多世纪以前。TOPOSYM是自1961年以来在捷克共和国布拉格举行的一系列国际拓扑学会议，每五年举行一次。长期以来，会议一直是地理和智力上的汇合点。一方面，北美(特别是美国)和欧洲(特别是东欧)都有大量参观者。另一方面，在会议上代表了拓扑学中更具分析性的一面的大横截面。第十二届一般拓扑学研讨会(TOPOSYM 2016)将于2016年7月25日至29日在捷克共和国布拉格举行，由捷克科学院数学研究所和查尔斯大学数学和物理系主办。会议涵盖了拓扑学更具分析性的方面的广泛主题：一般拓扑学和集合论拓扑学、描述性集合论、连续体理论、拓扑动力学、泛函分析和代数中的拓扑学以及范畴拓扑学。会议将包括一般拓扑学和集合论拓扑学领域许多领导人的特邀演讲：A.Arangel‘skii、L.Aurichi、D.Dikranjan、A.Dow、M.Hrusak、O.Kalenda、A.Kechris、P.Koszmider、M.Krupski、W.Kubis、A.Kwiatkowska、J.Lopez-Aad、V.Martinez de la Vega、J.Melleray、J.van Mill、A.Miller、J.Moore、C.Mouron、L.Nguyen Van the、L.Oversteegen、C.Rosendal、M.Sabok、S.Solecki、L.Soukup、M.Tachenko、L.作者：S.Todorcevic，T.Usuba，B.Weiss.会议的主要目标是帮助传播这些发言者的知识。此外，在一次会议上聚集这样一群专家将不可避免地导致新的合作和拓扑学领域基础研究的进一步发展。会议的网站是：http://www.toposym.cz/

Topology is a branch of mathematics which investigates qualitative aspects of geometry and analysis through an abstractions of notions such as limits, continuity, connectedness, and convergence. This subject is central to modern mathematics and has a rich history stretching back more than a century. TOPOSYM is a series of international topology conferences held in Prague, Czech Republic, in a five- year cycle since 1961. The conference has long served as a geographic and intellectual meeting point. On one hand it has a large attendance both from North America (and the US in particular) and from Europe (and Eastern Europe in particular). On the other, a large cross section of the more analytical side of topology is represented at the meeting. The Twelfth Symposium on General Topology (TOPOSYM 2016) will be held July 25-29, 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic, under the auspices of the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University. This grant will support the US based participants who attend the symposium.The conference covers a broad range of topics on the more analytical side of topology: general and set-theoretic topology, descriptive set theory, continuum theory, topological dynamics, topology in functional analysis and algebra, and categorical topology. The conference will contain invited lectures by many leaders in the field of general and set-theoretic topology: A. Arhangel'skii, L. Aurichi, D. Dikranjan, A. Dow, M. Hrusak, O. Kalenda, A. Kechris, P. Koszmider, M. Krupski, W. Kubis, A. Kwiatkowska, J. Lopez-Abad, V. Martinez de la Vega, J. Melleray, J. van Mill, A. Miller, J. Moore, C. Mouron, L. Nguyen Van The, L. Oversteegen, C. Rosendal, M. Sabok, S. Solecki, L. Soukup, M. Tkachenko, S. Todorcevic, T. Usuba, B. Weiss. The primary goal of the conference is to aid in the dissemination of the knowledge of these speakers. In addition to this, collecting such a group of experts at a meeting will inevitably lead to new collaborations and the furthering of basic research in the field of topology.The conference website is at http://www.toposym.cz/
