Advances in Symplectic Geometry and Topology

该项目的主要目的是支持参与者参加将于2013年8月5日至9日在墨西哥瓜纳华托举行的美洲数学大会第一届特别会议“辛几何和拓扑的进展”。大会的目标是在国际舞台上突出美洲卓越的数学成就，并促进美洲研究人员、学生、机构和数学协会之间的合作。我们的参与者包括知名学者、处于职业生涯中期的数学家以及博士生。会议的目的是为处于不同职业阶段的研究人员提供一个互动的机会，并讨论辛几何和拓扑学领域的最新发展。关于会议的更多信息请见http://www.math.umb.edu/~eduardo/MCA2013/Symplectic几何和拓扑学已经成为现代数学中无处不在的分支，并且在数学和物理中一些最新的前沿问题中发挥着核心作用。自从辛几何早期起源于经典力学以来，它经历了几次革命性的转变，这些转变有助于系统地理解复杂的自然现象，从动力系统到弦。本次会议将向国际舞台上的广大观众展示辛几何和拓扑的最新研究成果。我们希望培养跨国机构和研究人员之间的合作。我们希望影响研究生、博士后和初级学者，让他们有机会接触到该领域几位知名研究人员的专业知识。

The main objective of this project is to support participants to attend the special session "Advances in Symplectic Geometry and Topology" in the first edition of the Mathematical Congress of the Americas, which will be held in Guanajuato Mexico, August 5-9, 2013. The goal of the Congress is to highlight the excellence of mathematical achievements in the Americas within the context of the international arena, and foster collaborations amongst researchers, students, institutions and mathematical societies in the Americas. Our participants consist of established scholars, mid-career mathematicians as well as PhD students. The aim of the session is to offer an opportunity for interaction amongst researches in different stages of their careers, and to discuss the current developments in the fields of Symplectic Geometry and Topology. More information about the session is posted in http://www.math.umb.edu/~eduardo/MCA2013/Symplectic Geometry and Topology have become ubiquitous branches of Modern Mathematics, and play a central role in several of the latest cutting-edge problems of interest in Mathematics and Physics. Since its early origins in classical Mechanics, Symplectic Geometry has undergone several revolutionary transformations which have helped to systematically understand complex natural phenomena, from dynamical systems to strings. This meeting will expose current research in Symplectic Geometry and Topology to a broad audience in an international arena. We expect to cultivate collaborations between multinational institutions and researchers. We want to influence graduate students, postdocs and junior scholars and give them access to the expertise of several established researchers in the field.
