This NSF award provides partial support for a conference entitled "Geometries, surfaces and representations of fundamental groups," which will take place at the University of Maryland, College Park, on June 22-24, 2016. This meeting will bring together experts at the frontier of current work in this area from the United States and internationally, with a view towards open problems and future directions. The list of distinguished speakers will attract broad participation of students and postdoctoral researchers. Beginning mathematicians will be especially encouraged to attend. It is expected that the conference will itself generate research projects and provide a fertile ground for collaboration and the exchange of ideas. A major goal of this conference is to support, train and encourage the next generation of mathematicians in the fields of geometric structures and representations. The conference organizers are committed to ensuring a diverse and broad spectrum of participation. This conference will focus on recent developments in the rapidly developing field of geometric structures and representation varieties. The areas of focus for this meeting include Anosov structures, Higgs bundles and higher Teichmueller spaces, dynamics on moduli spaces, and pseudo-Riemannian structures. The list of fifteen internationally renowned principal speakers for this conference reflects the breadth of these topics and indicates the diversity of techniques in this subject. Additional 50-75 conference participants will include graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and faculty members. By bringing together all these speakers in one conference, the links between different approaches and techniques in this rich subject will be further strengthened. Videos and notes of the talks will be available on the conference website. The speakers will also be invited to submit papers to a volume of conference proceedings. The conference website is at: www-math.umd.edu/geometries/.

这项NSF奖将为2016年6月22日至24日在马里兰大学帕克分校举行的题为“几何、表面和基本群的表示”的会议提供部分支持。这次会议将汇集来自美国和国际的该领域当前工作前沿的专家，以探讨开放的问题和未来的方向。演讲者名单将吸引学生和博士后研究人员的广泛参与。特别鼓励初学的数学家参加。预计会议本身将产生研究项目，并为合作和思想交流提供肥沃的土壤。本次会议的一个主要目标是支持、培训和鼓励几何结构和几何表示领域的下一代数学家。会议组织者致力于确保多样化和广泛的参与。本次会议将重点讨论快速发展的几何结构和表现形式领域的最新进展。本次会议的重点领域包括：Anosov结构、希格斯束和更高的Teichmueller空间、模空间上的动力学以及伪黎曼结构。本次会议的15位国际知名首席演讲者的名单反映了这些主题的广度，并表明了该主题中技术的多样性。另外50-75名与会者将包括研究生、博士后学者和教职员工。通过将所有这些发言者聚集在一个会议上，这一丰富主题的不同方法和技术之间的联系将进一步加强。会议的视频和讲稿将在会议网站上提供。发言者还将被邀请向会议论文集提交论文。会议网站是：www-math.umd.edu/geometries/。
