Workshops in Geometric Topology

奖项：dms -0407583首席研究员：Craig R. Guilbault, Fredric D. Ancel,Dennis J. Garrity, Frederick Tinsley, Gerard A. venema该奖项为参与几何拓扑系列研讨会的三次会议的活跃研究数学家和研究生提供部分支持。2004年的研讨会将在威斯康辛州密尔沃基市的威斯康辛大学密尔沃基分校举行，由加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Peter Teichner担任主讲嘉宾。2005年的研讨会将在科罗拉多州科罗拉多斯普林斯市的科罗拉多学院举行，2006年的会议将在俄勒冈州科瓦利斯市的俄勒冈州立大学举行。这些研讨会的目的是专注于最近的工作，由其主要研究者之一报告，并提供一个严肃但非正式的研究氛围，研究生可以在几何拓扑中见面并向他人学习。该奖项的另一个组成部分支持编辑、排版和分发长期研讨会参与者Bob Edwards的几部未发表的作品。这些对拓扑学的重要贡献包括同源球的双重悬架和用同胚逼近类细胞图的开创性工作，这些成果将被发表在研讨会的网页上，作为正式发表的一步。

AbstractAward: DMS-0407583Principal Investigator: Craig R. Guilbault, Fredric D. Ancel,Dennis J. Garrity, Frederick Tinsley, Gerard A. VenemaThis award provides partial support for active researchmathematicians and graduate students participating in threemeetings in an ongoing series of workshops on geometric topology.The 2004 workshop will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at theUniversity of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, with Peter Teichner of theUniversity of California, San Diego as principal speaker. The2005 workshop will be take place at Colorado College in ColoradoSprings, Colorado and the 2006 meeting will be hosted by OregonState University in Corvallis, Oregon. These workshops are designed to focus on recent work, reported byone of its leading investigators, and to provide a serious butinformal research atmosphere in which graduate students can meetand learn from others in geometric topology. An additional component of this award supports work to edit,type, and distribute several unpublished works of longtimeworkshop participant Bob Edwards. These important contributionsto topology include seminal work on double suspensions ofhomology spheres and approximations of cell-like maps byhomeomorphisms, and will be posted on the workshop Web pages as astep toward more formal publication.
