This NSF award supports the Midwest Topology Seminar, from 2017 to 2020. This is a continuation of a previously supported regional conference series in algebraic topology that meets three times per year and rotates between universities in the Midwest and Great Lakes areas. The next two meetings are at Wayne State University (October 2017) and Northwestern University (Winter 2018). The Midwest Topology Seminar has been running continuously since the early 1970s, with at least one of the yearly meetings held in Chicago, the hub of the network. Algebraic topology has always been broadly construed to include homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, geometric group theory, and high dimensional manifolds; more recently the series has explored connections to algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory, low-dimensional manifolds, and mathematical physics.The Midwest Topology Seminar is a long-standing, reliable, low-key, and low-cost way for participants to keep up with the field. The Midwest is a traditional and continuing center of algebraic topology; hence there is a strong source of local speakers. Programs are augmented with featured speakers from around the country. The audiences are always large and diversified, drawing faculty and graduate students from a broad range of institutions. The Midwest Topology Seminar serves as a nexus for a vibrant community of research mathematicians, optimizing the distribution of new ideas through the field, especially among early career research mathematicians and mathematicians away from the traditional centers of research. This award supports travel expenses for approximately fifteen participants to each meeting. Support goes to graduate students and also to research mathematicians with limited funds from other sources. Conference web site is at www.math.wayne.edu/~rrb/MTS/

这一NSF奖项支持2017至2020年的中西部拓扑研讨会。这是以前支持的代数拓扑学区域会议系列的延续，该系列会议每年举行三次会议，并在中西部和大湖区的大学之间轮换。接下来的两次会议将在韦恩州立大学(2017年10月)和西北大学(2018年冬季)举行。中西部拓扑学研讨会自1970年代初以来一直持续举办，每年至少有一次会议在该网络的中心芝加哥举行。代数拓扑学一直被广泛地解释为包括同伦理论、代数K理论、几何群论和高维流形；最近，该系列探索了与代数几何、表示论、数论、低维流形和数学物理的联系。中西部拓扑学研讨会是参与者跟上该领域的一个长期、可靠、低调和低成本的方式。中西部是一个传统的和持续的代数拓扑学中心；因此有一个强大的本地说话者来源。节目中增加了来自全国各地的特色演讲者。观众总是庞大而多样化的，吸引了来自广泛机构的教职员工和研究生。中西部拓扑学研讨会是一个充满活力的研究数学家社区的纽带，优化了新思想在该领域的传播，特别是在早期职业研究数学家和远离传统研究中心的数学家之间。这项奖励支持大约15名与会者参加每次会议的旅费。资助对象包括研究生和其他来源资金有限的数学家研究人员。会议网址：www.math.wayne.edu/~rrb/mts/
