The 2020 Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference will be held on April 11-12, 2020 at Indiana University Bloomington. This conference will advance knowledge by exposing graduate students to a variety of research topics, stimulating new collaborations and connections between fields in geometry and topology. Furthermore, it will provide an inclusive space for graduate students to present their work, learn about the current research being done in related fields, and network with their peers and faculty members in an environment that fosters these interactions. Specifically, new graduate students will get a first taste of the nature of research, as well as an overview of a variety of topics that might not be covered at their home institutions. More advanced graduate students will present ongoing research, which will open doors towards progress on unsolved problems, foster bridges between different areas and potentially initiate new collaborations among young mathematicians. Additionally, faculty speakers will inform the participants of the current state of progress in their fields. Furthermore, the conference will offer a safe and inclusive space for graduate students of all levels, representing and encouraging under-represented minorities in these fields and welcoming everyone regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.The conference will involve about 200 graduate students of all levels from all over the country. The conference will consist of: 28 graduate students giving 30 minute talks on expository and original research topics in geometry/topology; 20 graduate students giving 5 minute lightning talks on original research topics in geometry/topology; 3 plenary speakers who are all prominent in their respective fields and excellent expositors: Ciprian Manolescu (Stanford) in geometric topology, Sarah Koch (University of Michigan) in geometry, and Brooke Shipley (University of Illinois at Chicago) in algebraic topology; 6 young faculty speakers: Lisa Piccirillo (Brandeis University), Bahar Acu (Northwestern University), Viveka Erlandsson (University of Bristol), Dami Lee (University of Washington), Sarah Yeakel (University of Maryland), Inna Zakharevich (Cornell University). The talks in this conference will cover various active fields in topology and geometry and will be aimed at graduate students from a variety of fields. The conference is structured on three main areas of research: geometric topology, geometry, and algebraic topology. This structure is reflected on the choice of faculty speakers. Their research areas include low-dimensional topology, symplectic topology, contact topology, Bers-Teichmuller theory, rational maps, mapping class groups, minimal surfaces, complex dynamics, hyperbolic geometry, curve counting, chromatic homotopy theory, equivariant homotopy theory, fixed point theory, category theory, topological modular forms, and algebraic K-theory. The graduate student talks will cover further active areas of geometry and topology. A myriad of new developments and specializations have emerged within the past few decades. The conference will provide graduate students the opportunity to learn about the frontiers of current research and corresponding open problems that are not represented by faculty interests at their home institutions.

2020年研究生拓扑和几何会议将于2020年4月11日至12日在印第安纳州大学布卢明顿举行。 本次会议将通过让研究生接触各种研究主题来推进知识，激发几何和拓扑领域之间的新合作和联系。 此外，它将为研究生提供一个包容性的空间，以展示他们的工作，了解相关领域正在进行的研究，并在促进这些互动的环境中与同行和教师建立联系。 具体来说，新的研究生将获得研究的性质的第一次尝试，以及各种主题的概述，可能不会在他们的家乡机构覆盖。更先进的研究生将目前正在进行的研究，这将打开大门，对未解决的问题取得进展，促进不同领域之间的桥梁，并可能启动新的合作之间的年轻数学家。 此外，教师发言人将告知与会者在各自领域的进展现状。 此外，会议将为各级研究生提供一个安全和包容的空间，代表和鼓励在这些领域代表性不足的少数民族，并欢迎所有人，无论种族，性别或性取向。会议将涉及来自全国各地的各级研究生约200人。会议将包括：28名研究生在几何/拓扑学中进行30分钟的临时和原始研究主题演讲; 20名研究生在几何/拓扑学中进行5分钟的闪电演讲; 3名全体演讲者在各自领域都很突出，并且是优秀的演讲者：奇普里安·马诺列斯库（斯坦福大学）在几何拓扑，莎拉科赫（密歇根大学）在几何，和布鲁克希普利（伊利诺伊大学芝加哥）在代数拓扑; 6名年轻教师发言人：丽莎皮奇里洛（布兰迪斯大学），巴哈尔阿库（西北大学），Viveka Erlandsson（布里斯托大学）、达米·李（华盛顿大学）、萨拉·伊克尔（马里兰州大学）、伊娜·扎哈列维奇（康奈尔大学）。 本次会议的会谈将涵盖拓扑学和几何学的各个活跃领域，并将针对来自各个领域的研究生。会议的结构上的三个主要研究领域：几何拓扑，几何和代数拓扑。这种结构反映在教师发言人的选择上。他们的研究领域包括低维拓扑、辛拓扑、接触拓扑、Bers-Teichmuller理论、有理映射、映射类群、极小曲面、复杂动力学、双曲几何、曲线计数、色同伦理论、等变同伦理论、不动点理论、范畴理论、拓扑模形式和代数K-理论。 研究生会谈将涵盖几何和拓扑学的进一步活跃领域。在过去几十年中出现了无数新的发展和专业化。会议将为研究生提供机会，了解当前研究的前沿和相应的开放性问题，这些问题在他们的家乡机构不代表教师的兴趣。更多细节可在www.example.com上获得https://gstgc20.sitehost.iu.edu/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。
