This NSF award supports the Midwest Topology Seminar, from 2023 to 2026, a continuation of a previously supported regional conference series in algebraic topology that meets three times per year and rotates between universities in the Midwest and Great Lakes areas. The next two meetings are at Loyola University (March 2024) and Indiana University (Spring 2024). The Midwest Topology Seminar has been running continuously since the early 1970s, with at least one of the yearly meetings held in Chicago, the hub of the network, and is a long-standing, reliable, low-key, and low-cost way for participants to keep up with the field. The audiences are always large and diversified, drawing faculty and graduate students from a broad range of institutions. The Midwest Topology Seminar serves as a nexus for a vibrant community of research mathematicians, optimizing the distribution of new ideas through the field, especially among early career research mathematicians and mathematicians away from the traditional centers of research.The Midwest is a traditional and continuing center of algebraic topology; hence there is a strong source of local speakers. Programs are augmented with featured speakers from around the country. Algebraic topology has always been broadly construed to include homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, geometric group theory, and high dimensional manifolds; more recently the series has explored connections to algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory, low dimensional manifolds, and mathematical physics. Financial support will go to graduate students and research mathematicians with limited funds from other sources. The conference web site is http://www.rrb.wayne.edu/MTS/.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NSF奖项支持中西部拓扑研讨会，从2023年到2026年，这是以前支持的代数拓扑区域会议系列的延续，每年召开三次，在中西部和五大湖地区的大学之间轮流举行。接下来的两次会议是在洛约拉大学（2024年3月）和印第安纳大学（2024年春季）。中西部拓扑学研讨会自20世纪70年代初以来一直在持续运行，每年至少有一次会议在网络的中心芝加哥举行，对于参与者来说，这是一种长期、可靠、低调和低成本的方式来跟上该领域的发展。观众总是庞大而多样化，吸引了来自广泛机构的教师和研究生。中西部拓扑学研讨会是一个充满活力的研究数学家社区的纽带，通过该领域优化新思想的分布，特别是在早期职业研究数学家和远离传统研究中心的数学家中。中西部是代数拓扑学的传统和持续中心；因此，有一个强大的本地语言来源。节目由来自全国各地的特邀演讲者进行扩充。代数拓扑学一直被广泛地解释为包括同伦理论、代数k理论、几何群论和高维流形；最近，该系列探讨了与代数几何、表示理论、数论、低维流形和数学物理的联系。财政支持将用于研究生和研究数学家，其他来源的资金有限。会议的网址是http://www.rrb.wayne.edu/MTS/.This，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，认为值得支持。
