This National Science Foundation award provides partial support for the event "Chromatic Homotopy Theory: Journey to the Frontier" that will take place May 16-20, 2018 at the University of Colorado, Boulder. This five day event will consist of a two-day workshop followed by a three-day conference. The goal is to promote the work of young researchers in the field, while providing an opportunity for graduate students and early career mathematicians from smaller and/or underfunded institutions to meet the experts in a friendly and thriving environment. Confirmed speakers for the conference come from across the world, including America, Asia and Europe. This meeting will help increase communication and collaboration among the worldwide topology community. The event will be filmed and made available on the internet, thereby broadening its impact. Resources on chromatic homotopy theory are sparse and these videos will also help increase the accessibility of the field. Chromatic homotopy theory is a deep and difficult branch of homotopy theory which has undergone significant computational and conceptual advances in the recent past. These advances often involve ideas at the interplay of algebraic geometry, number theory, higher category theory, and even quantum field theory. The primary scientific aim of this conference is to survey some of these connections and their impact on the field today. The research of the invited speakers is on the forefront of new developments in the field. Most of them are early career mathematicians whose work is influencing the discipline in new and innovative ways. The workshop preceding the conference will consist of a mini-course covering some of the background necessary for younger participants to fully benefit from the conference. Some of the very best researchers in chromatic homotopy theory will be contributing to the lectures of the workshop.

这个国家科学基金会的奖项为将于2018年5月16日至20日在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校举行的“色同伦理论：边疆之旅”活动提供了部分支持。这个为期五天的活动将包括一个为期两天的研讨会，然后是一个为期三天的会议。其目标是促进该领域年轻研究人员的工作，同时为来自较小和/或资金不足的机构的研究生和早期职业数学家提供一个在友好和繁荣的环境中与专家会面的机会。会议确认的发言人来自世界各地，包括美洲、亚洲和欧洲。这次会议将有助于加强全球拓扑学社区之间的交流和协作。该活动将被拍摄下来并放到互联网上，从而扩大其影响。关于色同伦理论的资源很少，这些视频也将有助于增加该领域的可访问性。色同伦理论是同伦理论中一个深奥而又困难的分支，近年来在计算和概念上取得了重大进展。这些进步通常涉及代数几何、数论、高等范畴理论，甚至量子场论的相互作用。这次会议的主要科学目的是调查其中的一些联系及其对当今该领域的影响。受邀演讲者的研究处于该领域新发展的前沿。他们中的大多数是早期职业数学家，他们的工作以新的和创新的方式影响着这一学科。会议之前的讲习班将包括一个小型课程，内容包括年轻与会者充分受益于会议所需的一些背景知识。一些在色同伦理论方面非常优秀的研究人员将为研讨会的讲座做出贡献。更多信息可在https://sites.google.com/view/chtjourney.This上获得，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
