Prague Topology Symposium

拓扑学是数学的一个分支，它通过对极限、连续性、连通性和收敛性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，有着一个多世纪的丰富历史。TOPOSYM是自1961年以来在捷克布拉格举行的一系列国际拓扑学会议，每五年举行一次。这个会议长期以来一直是地理和智力的交汇点。一方面，它有来自北美（尤其是美国）和欧洲（尤其是东欧）的大量观众。另一方面，在会议上展示了拓扑更具分析性的大截面。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与物理学院主办。这项资助将支持参加研讨会的美国参与者。会议涵盖了拓扑分析方面的广泛主题：一般和集合论拓扑，描述集合论，连续统理论，拓扑动力学，泛函分析和代数中的拓扑，以及分类拓扑。会议将邀请一般和集合论拓扑领域的许多领导人发表演讲：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。会议的主要目标是帮助传播这些发言者的知识。除此之外，在会议上聚集这样一群专家将不可避免地导致新的合作和进一步推进拓扑学领域的基础研究。会议的网址是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/
