Topics in Algebraic Topology and Related Areas

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。芝加哥大学长期以来一直是代数拓扑学的中心，被广泛理解为包括同伦代数、范畴理论以及与代数几何和几何拓扑学的联系。这些领域的群体现在是有史以来最大的。从数学上讲，它是兼收并蓄的；因此，这个项目包括所有这些领域的各种方向。这笔拨款仅用于支持在这些领域与美国公民自由联盟合作的研究生。美国公民自由联盟已经培养了近50名博士，其中大多数人目前在美国担任学术职务。这笔赠款支持培养更多具有广泛数学兴趣并致力于教学的数学专家博士。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The University of Chicago has long been a center of algebraic topology, broadly understood to include homotopical algebra, category theory, and connections with algebraic geometry and geometric topology. The group in these fields is now the largest it has been. Mathematically it is eclectic; hence this project includes a variety of directions in all of these areas. The grant is solely for the support of graduate students working with the PI in these areas.The PI has trained nearly 50 PhD's, most of whom now hold academic positions in the United States. This grant supports the training of more mathematically expert PhD's with broad mathematical interests and a commitment to teaching.
