South Central Topology Conference

该奖项支持首届中南拓扑会议（SCTC），该会议将于2021年9月25日至26日在德克萨斯州大学城的德克萨斯a&m大学举行。本次区域会议的主要目标包括：建立一个在该地区对拓扑学有不同兴趣的合作者和专家社区，展示中南部地区和其他地区拓扑学当前研究方向的样本，并以所有类型的拓扑学家都可以访问的方式交流发展和令人兴奋的结果。鉴于近年来中南地区拓扑学研究的发展，这次会议召开得非常及时。现代拓扑学是一个庞大而活跃的领域。会议的重点将是广泛的，并将提供在诸如色和等变同伦理论、高等代数、辛和接触拓扑、镜像对称和嵌入空间拓扑等领域的最新研究进展的样本。六位全体会议发言人Anna Marie Bohmann（范德比尔特大学）、Kristen Hendricks（罗格斯大学）、Robin koycheff（路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校）、Jo Nelson（莱斯大学）、Paul VanKoughnett（德州农工大学）和Abigail Ward（麻省理工学院）将进行一小时的讨论会式演讲。此外，还将有8场由研究生和博士后就广泛的主题进行的简短演讲。更多信息可以在会议的网页上找到：https://www.hiroleetanaka.com/sctc/.This该奖项反映了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 award supports the first South Central Topology Conference (SCTC) taking place September 25-26, 2021 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The primary goals of this regional conference include: developing a community of collaborators and experts of varied interests in topology in the region, showcasing a sample of current research directions in topology in the South Central region and beyond it, and communicating developing and exciting results in ways accessible to topologists of all ilks. This conference is timely in light of the research growth in topology in the South Central Region in recent years. Modern topology is a large and active field. The conference will be broad in its focus, and will provide a sample of recent research developments in fields such as chromatic and equivariant homotopy theory, higher algebra, symplectic and contact topology, mirror symmetry, and the topology of embedding spaces. The six plenary speakers, Anna Marie Bohmann (Vanderbilt University), Kristen Hendricks (Rutgers University), Robin Koytcheff (University of Louisiana at Lafayette), Jo Nelson (Rice University), Paul VanKoughnett (Texas A&M University), and Abigail Ward (MIT), will give one-hour colloquium-style presentations. There will also be eight short talks given by graduate students and postdocs on a wide range of topics. More information can be found on the conference web page: https://www.hiroleetanaka.com/sctc/.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.
