Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference 2004

摘要奖：DMS-0349862主要研究员：Lex G.Oversteegen，Alexander M.Blokh，John C.Mayer阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校数学系提议于2004年3月25-27日主办春季拓扑和动力系统会议(STDC)。STDC涵盖了动力学系统的拓扑学和拓扑学方法的大部分领域。我们预计这次会议将吸引来自国内外的200多名与会者。拟议活动的智力价值在于与会者之间的广泛和深入的互动。为了确保在会议的每个核心领域都有强有力和平衡的代表，我们建议有四个特别会议并行进行：连续统理论、动力系统、一般和集论拓扑学以及几何拓扑学。为了促进团结和互动，将在两个平行的会议中邀请12个25分钟的演讲，以及7个50分钟的全体演讲。与会者之间将提供正式和非正式互动的机会。这将包括一个致力于会议领域的最新进展、当前富有成效的方向和新机会的会议。STDC会议汇集了从事数学两个核心领域工作的数学家和数学学生：拓扑学和动力系统。拟议活动的更广泛影响在于通过传播这两个核心领域的最新成果来增进知识，包括对学生的教育。我们预计，许多受邀演讲将强调各中央会议领域研究议程之间的互动。核心领域的成功会议是数学基础设施的重要组成部分，支持研究，培训新的数学家，并为数学和科学相关领域的应用发展基础。将尽一切努力让代表性不足的群体、研究生和活跃在这些领域的研究人员大量参与。

AbstractAward: DMS-0349862Principal Investigator: Lex G. Oversteegen, Alexander M. Blokh, John C. MayerThe Department of Mathematics of the University of Alabama atBirmingham proposes to host the Spring Topology and DynamicalSystems Conference (STDC), March 25-27, 2004. The STDCencompasses most of the areas of topology and of topologicalapproaches to dynamical systems. We expect the conference toattract over 200 participants, nationally and internationally.The intellectual merit of the proposed activity lies in the broadand deep interaction among the participants. To ensure strongand balanced representation in each of the areas central to theconference, we propose to have four special sessions running inparallel: Continuum Theory, Dynamical Systems, General andSet-Theoretic Topology, and Geometric Topology. To promote unityand interaction, there will be 12 invited talks of 25-minutes intwo parallel sessions, and 7 plenary talks of 50 minutes. Ampleopportunities for formal and informal interaction amongparticipants will be provided. This will include a sessiondevoted to the state of the arts in the conference areas, currentfruitful directions, and new opportunities.The STDC conference brings together mathematicians andmathematics students working in two core areas of mathematics:topology and dynamical systems. The broader impact of theproposed activity lies in the advancement of knowledge, includingeducation of students, through communication of recent results inthese two core areas. We expect that many of the invited talkswill emphasize interaction of the research agendas of the centralconference areas. Successful conferences in core areas are animportant part of mathematical infrastructure, supportingresearch, training new mathematicians, and developing afoundation for applications in related fields of mathematics andscience. Every effort will be made to provide for the substantialparticipation of under-represented groups, graduate students, andactive researchers in these areas.
