Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology

该奖项支持参加2016年5月14日至15日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的第二届坦普尔大学代数、几何和拓扑学研究生会议。本次会议将有90多名来自东海岸和其他地区的研究生参加，他们的背景和研究水平各不相同。该会议为研究生提供了一个机会，通过在他们的同龄人面前展示数学，在早期阶段发展他们的学术生涯。在全体演讲者中，有30名研究生就广泛的主题和不同的研究兴趣进行演讲，会议还为研究生提供了机会，让他们了解在本国大学并不流行的数学研究领域。这次会议为年轻的数学家提供了独特的机会来发起合作研究项目，并在他们的研究领域之间建立联系。这次会议的主要主题是代数、几何和拓扑学，重点是这些领域之间的相互作用，包括：纽结理论、几何群论、流形上的几何结构、微分几何、同伦理论、表示论、同调代数、流形的量子不变量、量子群和代数几何。会议将有三十多个研究生演讲，既有原创的研究演讲，也有说明性的陈述。会议还将包括四位以演讲技巧和研究工作著称的全体演讲者：扎吉·多尔蒂(纽约城市学院)研究组合表示理论，乔丹·埃伦伯格(威斯康星大学)研究算术代数几何，埃莉森达·格里斯比(波士顿学院)研究低维拓扑和纽结理论，艾伦·里德(德克萨斯大学)研究双曲几何和群论。网址：https://math.temple.edu/events/gscagt

This award supports participation in the second Temple University Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology, taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 14-15, 2016. This conference will involve more than 90 graduate students from the East Coast and beyond, with a variety of backgrounds and research levels. The conference provides an opportunity for graduate students to develop their academic careers at an early stage by presenting mathematics in front of their peers. With thirty graduate student talks on a wide range of topics and a diversity of research interests among the plenary speakers, the conference also provides opportunities for graduate students to learn about areas of mathematical research that are not prevalent at their home universities. The conference provides unique opportunities for young mathematicians to initiate collaborative research projects and to make connections between their fields of study.The main topics of this conference are algebra, geometry, and topology broadly construed, with emphasis on interactions between these areas, including: knot theory, geometric group theory, geometric structures on manifolds, differential geometry, homotopy theory, representation theory, homological algebra, quantum invariants of manifolds, quantum groups, and algebraic geometry. The conference will feature over thirty talks by graduate students, both original research talks and expository presentations. It will also include four plenary speakers renowned for both their presentation skills and research work: Zajj Daugherty (City College of New York) in combinatorial representation theory, Jordan Ellenberg (Univeristy of Wisconsin) in arithmetic algebraic geometry, Elisenda Grigsby (Boston College) in low-dimensional topology and knot theory, and Alan Reid (University of Texas) in hyperbolic geometry and group theory.Web site: https://math.temple.edu/events/gscagt
