This award provides support for participation in the conference "Between Topology and Quantum Field Theory" in Austin, TX, on January 14-18, 2019. The conference is intended to be a gathering of 100-150 researchers, including graduate students, postdocs, and faculty, in mathematics and theoretical physics. It will be an opportunity for broader communities of researchers to learn about dramatic developments from the last few years as well as about the areas of the conference more broadly. To maximize its impact the conference will be broadly advertised, and funds will be provided to support travel expenses of participants who otherwise could not attend. Researchers from groups underrepresented in mathematics and theoretical physics will be prioritized in allocating these funds. To further increase the reach of the conference, audio and video from the talks will be recorded and made freely available online.The conference will catalyze new interactions between researchers in fields bridging mathematics and physics. The specific focus will be on three overlapping areas: topological phenomena in quantum field theory, mathematical formulations of quantum field theory, and differential geometry of supersymmetry. The conference plan builds on significant recent momentum in these three areas, and includes a list of 18 confirmed speakers, including both current international leaders in these areas and up-and-coming future leaders. The conference web page is available at https://web.ma.utexas.edu/topqft/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.

该奖项为参加2019年1月14日至18日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的“拓扑与量子场论之间”会议提供支持。该会议的目的是聚集100-150名研究人员，包括研究生，博士后和教师，在数学和理论物理。这将为更广泛的研究人员提供一个机会，了解过去几年的重大发展以及更广泛地了解会议的领域。为了最大限度地扩大会议的影响，将广泛宣传会议，并将提供资金，以支付因其他原因无法出席会议的与会者的旅费。来自数学和理论物理领域代表性不足的群体的研究人员将优先分配这些资金。为了进一步扩大会议的影响范围，会议的音频和视频将被录制并免费在线提供。会议将促进数学和物理领域研究人员之间的新互动。具体的重点将放在三个重叠的领域：量子场论中的拓扑现象，量子场论的数学公式和超对称性的微分几何。会议计划建立在这三个领域最近的重大势头之上，并包括18位已确认的发言者名单，其中包括这些领域的现任国际领导人和未来的未来领导人。会议网页可在www.example.com上获得https://web.ma.utexas.edu/topqft/This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。
