Mathematical Sciences: Georgia International Topology Conference, University of Georgia, August 2 -13, 1993

这一建议是对国家支持的请求。 科学基金会的一个会议，主要是3和4- 三维拓扑学，将在格鲁吉亚大学举行， 1993年8月2日至3日。 自1961年以来，格鲁吉亚大学组织和 每8年举办一次大型国际拓扑学会议。 1993年的会议将反映出目前的巨大兴趣 在三维和四维拓扑中。 其中的主题将是 特邀演讲者讨论的是规范理论，拓扑 量子场论，3和4流形的新不变量， 三维流形几何化猜想的进展，以及 纽结理论的新方法 这些话题发展得非常 近年来，我们的会议将为研究人员提供 以及探索它们之间联系的机会。

This proposal is a request for support from the National Science Foundation for a conference primarily on 3 and 4- dimensional topology, to be held at the University of Georgia, August 2-3,1993. Since 1961 the University of Georgia has organized and hosted a major international topology conference every 8 years. The 1993 conference will reflect the tremendous current interest in 3 and 4-dimensional topology. Among the topics that will be discussed by invited speakers are gauge theory, topological quantum field theory, new invariants of 3 and 4-manifolds, progress on the geometrization conjecture for 3-manifolds, and new approaches to knot theory. These topics have developed very rapidly in recent years and our conference will give researchers and opportunity to explore the connections between them.
