South Central Topology Conference

该奖项支持2021年9月25日至26日在德克萨斯州A&M大学学院站举行的首届中南拓扑学会议(SCTC)。这一地区会议的主要目标包括：发展该地区对拓扑学有不同兴趣的合作者和专家社区，展示中南部地区及其他地区目前拓扑学研究方向的样本，并以各种拓扑学家都能接触到的方式交流不断发展和令人兴奋的结果。鉴于近年来中南部地区在拓扑学方面的研究增长，这次会议是及时的。现代拓扑学是一个大而活跃的领域。会议的焦点将是广泛的，并将提供诸如色和等变同伦理论、高级代数、辛和接触拓扑、镜像对称和嵌入空间的拓扑等领域的最新研究进展的样本。六位全体演讲者安娜·玛丽·博曼(Vanderbilt University)、克里斯汀·亨德里克斯(Kristen Hendricks)(罗格斯大学)、罗宾·科伊切夫(Robin Koytchef)(路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校)、乔·纳尔逊(Jo Nelson)(莱斯大学)、保罗·范库内特(Paul VanKoughnett)(德克萨斯农工大学)和阿比盖尔·沃德(MIT)将作一小时的口述式演讲。还将有八个由研究生和博士后就广泛主题进行的简短演讲。更多信息可在会议网页上找到：https://www.hiroleetanaka.com/sctc/.This奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
