This award will fund three meetings of a well-established series of summer Workshops in Geometric Topology, with the first to be held at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, June 14-16, 2018. The award will also fund workshops at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2019 and at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, in 2020. These workshops provide an annual opportunity for active researchers and graduate students in the mathematical field of geometric topology to interact in a setting that provides multiple tangible benefits, including:1) attending the lectures of a principal speaker to receive an in-depth introduction to important current streams of research being performed by nationally-recognized experts,2) learning about a breadth of other research activities by attending shorter talks given by the other workshop participants,3) the opportunity to share their own work by giving talks in a congenial environment, and4) important time for informal discussion and interaction among participants and with the principal speaker.These workshops regularly feature participation and talks by members of underrepresented groups in mathematics, and, to further broaden the impact of the workshops, the talks of the principal speaker will be recorded and posted to the internet. The workshops also provide significant benefits to graduate students by providing a serious but informal research atmosphere in which they can meet and learn from others in the field. NSF funding will be used to cover the attendance costs of workshop participants.More specifically, the workshops provide opportunities for geometric topologists to interact and share ideas, leading to research collaborations. Furthermore, the proposed workshops will continue the tradition of inviting each year a renowned principal speaker to provide a series of three lectures on a topic of his or her choice for the purpose of expanding the interests of the participants by having a nationally-recognized expert discuss an important area of current interest. The 2018 workshop will feature Andras Stipsicz of the Renyi Institute of Mathematics. The web site for this workshop will be http://www.calvin.edu/~venema/workshop18/ .This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将资助一个完善的系列夏季几何拓扑研讨会的三次会议，第一次将于2018年6月14日至16日在密歇根州大急流城的卡尔文学院举行。该奖项还将资助2019年在威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校和2020年在德克萨斯州沃斯堡的德克萨斯基督教大学举办的研讨会。这些研讨会为活跃的研究人员和研究生在几何拓扑学的数学领域提供了一个年度机会，在提供多种有形利益的环境中进行互动，包括：1）参加主要演讲者的讲座，深入介绍国家公认的专家正在进行的重要的当前研究流，2）通过参加其他研讨会参与者的简短演讲，了解其他研究活动的广度，3）有机会通过在适宜的环境中进行演讲来分享自己的工作，以及4）参与者之间以及与主要发言人进行非正式讨论和互动的重要时间。这些讲习班定期邀请数学领域代表性不足的团体成员参加并发表演讲，为了进一步扩大讲习班的影响，主要发言人的演讲将被录制并发布到互联网上。研讨会还提供了显着的好处，研究生提供了一个严重的，但非正式的研究氛围，他们可以满足和学习他人在该领域。NSF的资助将用于支付研讨会参与者的出席费用。更具体地说，研讨会为几何拓扑学家提供了互动和分享想法的机会，从而促进研究合作。此外，拟议的讲习班将继续保持每年邀请一位著名的主要发言人就其选择的专题举办一系列三场讲座的传统，以便由一位国家公认的专家讨论当前感兴趣的一个重要领域，从而扩大参加者的兴趣。2018年的研讨会将由Renyi数学研究所的Andras Stipsicz主持。 该研讨会的网站将是http://www.calvin.edu/~venema/workshop18/。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
