31st Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications

该奖项支持美国研究生、早期职业研究人员和研讨会负责人参加将于2016年8月2日至5日在莱斯特大学举行的第31届夏季拓扑学及其应用会议。这一系列会议起源于纽约市，专门致力于推动拓扑学方法的发展和应用到包括计算机科学、分析和代数在内的广泛领域。它保持了对开发新的应用领域采取包容态度的传统。今年特别关注的是代数拓扑学以及与点图案衍射有关的新的光谱数学概念，以模拟物质的分布。会议的目标是展示拓扑学及其方法几个领域的最新发展，并促进它们之间的合作和桥梁。会议的范围包括代数拓扑学、连续统理论和动力系统、拓扑学和基础的专题会议，以及计算机科学和分析的应用会议。代数拓扑学的课程将以新开发的分类方法为特色。关于连续统理论和动力系统的会议将重点介绍关于双曲三维流形和三维流形上的非周期流动的最新结果。会议网址为：https://sites.google.com/site/summertopology/home

This award supports the participation of US based graduate students, early career researchers and workshop leaders at the 31st Summer Topology Conference on Topology and its Applications, which will be held August 2-5, 2016 at the University of Leicester. This conference series originated in New York City and specializes in advancing the development of topological methods and applications to a broad range of areas including computer science, analysis, and algebra. It maintains a tradition of an inclusive attitude towards developing new application areas. Special focus this year is on algebraic topology as well as new mathematical notions of spectrum in connection with diffraction for point-patterns modelling distributions of matter. The goal of the conference is to present the latest developments in several areas of topology and its methods, and to foster collaborations and bridges between them. The scope of the conference includes special sessions in Algebraic Topology, Continuum Theory and Dynamical Systems, Topology and Foundations, as well as sessions featuring applications to Computer Science and Analysis. The session in Algebraic Topology will feature newly developed categorical methods. The session on Continuum Theory and Dynamical Systems will highlight recent results in hyperbolic 3-manifolds and aperiodic flows on 3-manifolds.
