Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

第十届年度研究生拓扑和几何会议将于2012年3月31日至4月1日在印第安纳州大学布卢明顿举行。这次会议将有来自全国各地的100多名各级研究生参加。会议将包括24名研究生30分钟的演讲，内容涉及几何/拓扑学的临时和原创研究课题;两位全体演讲者在各自领域都很突出，也是优秀的演讲者：Jacob Lurie（哈佛大学）在代数拓扑和安德拉斯Stipsicz（普林斯顿大学）在几何拓扑;四个邀请年轻教师发言：Andrew Blumberg（德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）、Julia Elisenda Grigsby（波士顿学院）、Adam Simon Levine（布兰迪斯大学）和Angelica Osorno（芝加哥大学）。这次会议的主题是广泛的：拓扑和几何。将有许多以下子领域的会谈：双曲几何，三流形，同伦理论，辛几何，动力学，纽结理论，配边理论，范畴理论，Teichmuller理论，四流形，微分拓扑，几何群论，代数K-理论，和更多.本次会议提供了一个来自不同地理区域的年轻数学家之间的交流场所.参与者来自数十所不同的学校，包括所有年份的研究生。虽然有许多会议致力于拓扑和几何，这一个是唯一致力于研究生。在这次会议上展示的经验，使研究生能够完善他们的演讲技巧，并成长为更有效的沟通者。由于有机会结识相关领域的其他学生，环境也鼓励现在和整个参与者的职业生涯中的合作。 几何学和拓扑学都是不断发展的数学领域，与许多其他研究领域有着深刻的联系，如动力系统，物理学，计算机科学和数学生物学。 本次会议旨在进一步研究和交流这些领域的研究，并鼓励这些领域的研究生。 更多信息可以在http://www.math.indiana.edu/gstgc上找到。

The tenth annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is to be held March 31-April 1, 2012, at Indiana University, Bloomington. The conference will involves more than 100 graduate students of all levels from all over the country. The conference will consist of 24 graduate student 30 minute talks on expository and original research topics in geometry/topology; two plenary speakers who are both prominent in their respective fields and excellent expositors: Jacob Lurie (Harvard University) in algebraic topology and Andras Stipsicz (Princeton University) in geometric topology; four invited young faculty speakers: Andrew Blumberg (University of Texas, Austin), Julia Elisenda Grigsby (Boston College), Adam Simon Levine (Brandeis University), and Angelica Osorno (University of Chicago). The topic of this conference is broad: topology and geometry. There will be talks in many of the following subfields: hyperbolic geometry, three-manifolds, homotopy theory, symplectic geometry, dynamics, knot theory, cobordism theory, category theory, Teichmuller theory, four-manifolds, differential topology, geometric group theory, algebraic K-theory, and more.This conference provides a venue for communication among young mathematicians from different geographic regions. Participants come from dozens of different schools, and include graduate students at all years of study. Although there are many conferences dedicated to topology and geometry, this one is uniquely dedicated to graduate students. The experience of presenting at this conference allows graduate students to refine their speaking skills and grow into more effective communicators. Because of the opportunity to meet other students in related fields, the environment also encourages collaboration now and throughout the participants' careers. Both geometry and topology are growing mathematical fields with deep connections to many other areas of research, such as dynamical systems, physics, computer science, and mathematical biology. This conference serves to further research and communication about research in these areas, and to enable and encourage graduate students in these fields.
