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/

该NSF奖项支持中西部拓扑研讨会，从2017年到2020年。这是以前支持的代数拓扑区域会议系列的延续，该会议每年举行三次，在中西部和五大湖地区的大学之间轮流举行。接下来的两次会议分别在韦恩州立大学（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20世纪70年代初以来一直在持续进行，每年至少有一次会议在网络中心芝加哥举行。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，该系列探讨了代数几何、表示理论、数论、低维流形和数学物理之间的联系。中西部拓扑学研讨会是一个长期的、可靠的、低调的、低成本的参与者跟上该领域的方式。中西部是代数拓扑学的传统和持续中心；因此，有一个强大的本地语言来源。节目由来自全国各地的特邀演讲者进行扩充。观众总是庞大而多样化，吸引了来自广泛机构的教师和研究生。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，通过该领域优化新思想的分布，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中。该奖金支持约15名与会者参加每次会议的旅费。支持的对象是研究生，也包括从其他来源获得有限资金的研究数学家。会议网址为www.math.wayne.edu/~rrb/MTS/
