Travel to Dubrovnik Topology Conference

该提案要求为美国研究生和其他数学家提供部分旅行支持，以参加将于2011年6月26日至7月3日举行的拓扑学主要会议杜布罗夫尼克VII -几何拓扑学（http：//www.math.utah.edu/dubrovnik/）。这是一个很好的机会，让年轻的数学家熟悉这一非常活跃的学科的研究前沿，并在未来作出贡献。此外，许多与会者（如六个主要发言人）预计将是妇女。根据初步调查，这也是可能的几个美国的数学家，将支持这项赠款，如果资助，将是妇女。拓扑学研究广义概念的空间结构。它是现代数学的一个基本组成部分，并具有广泛的应用，如机器人学，流体混合，断层扫描，计算机网络，算法复杂性，DNA连接等。国际会议对数学的力量和发展至关重要，因此是国际合作以及国家科学核心和科学基础设施发展的基本组成部分。本次会议将联合收割机在几何，拓扑和群论的最新成果。杜布罗夫尼克会议有着悠久而成功的传统，汇集了来自不同领域的数学和地理研究。在许多方面，杜布罗夫尼克会议系列一直是拓扑学合作不可或缺的工具。毫无疑问，这次会议将推进拓扑学的高质量研究，同时促进相邻数学研究领域（如群论和微分几何）之间以及抽象和应用研究之间的广泛而深入的互动。

The proposal is asking for partial travel support for US based graduate students and other mathematicians to attend a major conference in topology, Dubrovnik VII - Geometric Topology to be held on June 26- July 3, 2011 (http://www.math.utah.edu/dubrovnik/). This is a great opportunity for the junior mathematicians to familiarize themselves with the frontiers of research in this very active subject and in the future contribute to it. In addition, many of the participants (e.g. six of the main speakers) are anticipated to be women. Based on initial inquiries, it is also likely that several of US based mathematicians that will be supported on this grant, if funded, will be women.Topology studies generalized notions of spatial structure. It is a fundamental part of modern mathematics and has applications as far ranging as robotics, fluid mixing, tomography, computer networks, algorithms complexity, linking of DNA, and many others. International conferences are fundamental to the strength and development of mathematics, and as such are a fundamental part of the international colaboration as well as of the development of the national science core and the scientific infrastructure. This conference will combine the latest results in Geometry, Topology and Group Theory. The Dubrovnik conference has a long and a very successful tradition bringing together researches from different areas mathematically and geographically. In many ways the Dubrovnik conference series has been an indespensible tool for collaboration in Topology. No doubts that this conference will advance top quality research in Topology while facilitating broad and deep interaction among adjacent mathematical research areas such as Group Theory and Differential Geometry and between abstract and applied research.
