Upstate New York Topology Seminar

该国家科学基金会奖为第一届纽约州北部拓扑研讨会（UNYTS）提供支持，该研讨会将于2018年11月10日至11日星期六和星期日在纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼大学举行。纽约州是全国最大的学院和大学的所在地之一，许多位于纽约州北部的这些机构相距足够远，使得具有活跃拓扑项目的部门之间难以进行定期和持续的互动。近年来，一些有前途的早期职业拓扑学家在这些部门开始了终身职位。这一点，再加上最近拓扑学应用领域的显著增长，创造了将许多新的研究人员带入拓扑学领域并产生重大开创性工作的潜力。有了这个奖项，主要研究人员寻求促进拓扑学新人的发展，并通过创建年度系列周末会议，提高纽约州北部所有拓扑学研究人员之间的互动水平。这些会议将突出纽约拓扑学家所做的工作，并将为纽约拓扑学家提供相互交流的机会，并与该领域的成熟和新兴领导者进行交流。会议将以8个45分钟的全体讲座为特色，面向代数、应用和几何拓扑学的听众。演讲者的选择，使参与者将有机会了解最近的工作，在广泛的领域内的拓扑学。会谈后的问答环节将使与会者能够与演讲者和其他与会者进行富有成效的对话。充足的休息时间以及会议早餐和晚宴将促进演讲者和参与者之间的互动，并鼓励非正式的思想交流。会议的网站可以在https://www.albany.edu/~mv312143/unyts/.This上找到奖项反映了NSF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。

This National Science Foundation award provides support for the first Upstate New York Topology Seminar (UNYTS) that will take place at the University at Albany, State University of New York, on Saturday and Sunday, November 10-11, 2018. The state of New York is home to one of the largest collections of colleges and universities in the country, and many of these institutions in upstate New York are just far enough apart to make regular and sustained interactions between departments with active topology programs difficult. In recent years, a number of promising early-career topologists have started tenure-track positions in these departments. This, coupled with the phenomenal recent growth in applications of topology, creates the potential for bringing many new researchers into topological fields and producing significant ground-breaking work. With this award, the principle investigators seek to foster the development of newcomers to topology and increase the level of interaction among all researchers in topology in upstate New York by creating an annual series of weekend conferences. These conferences will highlight work done by New York topologists, and will also provide New York topologists with the opportunity to interact with each other and with established and emerging leaders in the field.The conference will feature eight 45-minute plenary lectures accessible to an audience of algebraic, applied, and geometric topologists. The speakers are chosen so that participants will have the opportunity to learn about recent work in a wide range of fields within topology. Question and answer sessions following the talks will enable participants to engage in productive conversations with both the speakers and other attendees. Ample breaks along with conference breakfasts and a dinner will catalyze interactions between speakers and participants and encourage informal exchanges of ideas. The conference website may be found at https://www.albany.edu/~mv312143/unyts/.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.
