South Central Topology Conference

该奖项支持第一次中南部拓扑会议（SCTC）将于2021年9月25日至26日在德克萨斯州学院站的德克萨斯A M大学举行。这次区域会议的主要目标包括：发展一个社区的合作者和专家的不同利益的拓扑结构在该地区，展示了一个样本的当前研究方向的拓扑结构在中南部地区和超越它，并沟通发展和令人兴奋的结果的方式访问所有同类的拓扑学家。这次会议是及时的鉴于拓扑学的研究增长在中南部地区近年来。现代拓扑学是一个庞大而活跃的领域。会议将是广泛的重点，并将提供一个样本，最近的研究发展领域，如色和等变同伦理论，高等代数，辛和接触拓扑，镜像对称，和嵌入空间的拓扑结构。六位全体发言人，安娜玛丽博曼（范德比尔特大学），克里斯汀亨德里克斯（罗格斯大学），罗宾Koytcheff（路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校），乔纳尔逊（莱斯大学），保罗VanKoughnett（得克萨斯A M大学），和阿比盖尔沃德（麻省理工学院），将给一个小时的座谈会风格的演讲。此外，研究生和博士后还将就广泛的主题进行八次简短的演讲。更多信息可以在会议网页上找到：https://www.hiroleetanaka.com/sctc/.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。

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.
