Ulam Centennial and Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference 2009; Gainesville, FL, March 2009

摘要奖：DMS-0844136主要研究者：Philip L. Boyland，Louis S. Block，亚历山大N.作者声明：James E. Keesling佛罗里达大学数学系将于2009年3月7日（星期六）至3月12日（星期四）举办乌拉姆百年暨第43届春季拓扑与动力系统会议（乌拉姆百年STDC-2009）。 一年一度的春季STDC是全国最成功的一系列拓扑/动力学会议之一。 Stanislaw Ulam将在2009年春天满100岁。他是世纪杰出的南极科学家之一，也是佛罗里达大学的研究生研究教授。 鉴于乌拉姆对拓扑学、动力学和相关领域的许多贡献，每年的STDC与乌拉姆百年纪念相结合是非常合适的。这次联合会议将保持STDC的基本结构和会议，但将延长30天，以便在乌拉姆对数学和科学的许多贡献领域增加特别会议和全体会议讲座。拓扑学研究空间结构的广义概念;动力系统研究时间演化的拓扑和分析性质。每一个都是现代机器人的基本组成部分，并在机器人、流体混合、计算机网络和心脏节律等领域有广泛的应用。 会议是数学的力量和发展的基础，因此是国家科学基础设施的基本组成部分。本次会议将结合联合收割机的最新成果拓扑和动力系统与许多应用主题与斯坦乌拉姆。虽然乌拉姆可能是最好的rememberedby公众对他的参与曼哈顿计划，他的数学和科学的贡献是广泛和深入的。它们包括数值方法，经典力学，动力系统，数论，图论，集合论和遍历理论的重要工作。受Ulam的启发，会议将推进拓扑和动力系统的高质量研究，同时促进相邻数学研究领域之间以及抽象和应用研究之间的广泛和深入的互动。

AbstractAward: DMS-0844136Principal Investigator: Philip L. Boyland, Louis S. Block,Alexander N. Dranishnikov, James E. KeeslingThe University of Florida Department of Mathematics will host ajoint Ulam Centennial and 43rd Annual Spring Topology andDynamical Systems Conference (Ulam Centennial STDC-2009) fromSaturday, March 7 through Thursday, March 12, 2009. The AnnualSpring STDC's are among the nation's most successful series oftopology/dynamics conferences. Stanislaw Ulam would turn 100 inSpring, 2009. He was one of the preeminent mathematicalscientists of the 20th century and a Graduate Research Professorat the University of Florida. In light of Ulam's manycontributions to topology, dynamics, and related fields, it isvery fitting that the annual STDC be combined with an UlamCentennial. The joint conference will maintain the basicstructure and sessions of the STDC, but will be extended by 3days to allow additional special sessions and plenary lectures inthe areas of Ulam's many contributions to mathematics andscience.Topology studies generalized notions of spatial structure;Dynamical Systems studies the topological and analytic nature oftime evolution. Each is a fundamental part of modern mathematicsand has applications as far ranging as robotics, fluid mixing,computer networks and cardiac rhythms. Conferences arefundamental to the strength and development of mathematics, andas such are a fundamental part of the national scientificinfrastructure. This conference will combine the latest resultsin Topology and Dynamical Systems with many applied topicsassociated with Stan Ulam. While Ulam is perhaps best rememberedby the public for his participation in the Manhattan Project, hismathematical and scientific contributions were wide anddeep. They include significant work in numerical methods,classical mechanics, dynamical systems, number theory, graphtheory, set theory, and ergodic theory. Inspired by Ulam'sexample, the conference will advance top quality research inTopology and Dynamical Systems while facilitating broad and deepinteraction among adjacent mathematical research areas andbetween abstract and applied research.
