2014 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference, April 11-13, 2014

该奖项支持参加将于2014年春季和秋季举行的Redbud Topology Conference。 会议的主要议题是低维拓扑，其中包括三维空间的研究，使用代数方法，如群论。 其目的是研究三维空间的对称性，这反过来又提供了更好地理解可能的形状和属性的洞察力。 本次会议是在阿肯色州和俄克拉荷马州的机构正在进行的系列活动的一部分，这些活动促进了该地区年轻和高级数学家之间的互动。它包括两个会议：春季研究生和年轻研究人员研讨会，秋季高级研究会议。2014年春季紫荆拓扑会议将于2014年4月11日至13日在俄克拉荷马州大学诺曼校区举行。本次会议的主题是集中在当前的主题几何群论有关的自由群，曲面群，他们的自同构群，自由的循环和表面的循环群。演讲嘉宾是Matt Clay（阿肯色州大学），斯宾塞·道达尔（伊利诺伊大学香槟分校），丹尼尔格罗夫斯（伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校）（佛罗里达州立大学），克里斯莱宁格（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校），约翰娜·曼加哈斯（布朗大学），杰森·曼宁（U在布法罗），本麦克雷诺兹（普渡大学），亚历山德拉佩泰特（U的不列颠哥伦比亚省），萨姆泰勒（U的得克萨斯州奥斯汀），和奥尔登步行者（U的芝加哥）。 会议以旨在增强研究生和初级研究人员经验的研讨会开始。 会议将促进该地区青年数学家之间的互动并加强他们之间的研究联系。http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/

This award supports participation in the Redbud Topology Conference, to be held in the Spring and the Fall of 2014. The main subject of the conference is low-dimensional topology, which includes the study of spaces in three dimensions, using algebraic methods such as group theory. The aim is to investigate the symmetries of 3-dimensional space, which in turn gives insight to better understand the possible shapes and properties. This conference is part of an ongoing series held at institutions in Arkansas and Oklahoma, which foster interactions among young and senior mathematicians in the region. It features two meetings: a graduate student and young researchers workshop in the spring, and an advanced research conference in the fall.The Spring 2014 Redbud Topology Conference will be held April 11-13, 2014 on the Norman campus of the University of Oklahoma. The theme of this conference is centered on current topics in geometric group theory related to free groups, surface groups, their automorphism groups, and free-by-cyclic and surface-by-cyclic groups. The invited speakers are Matt Clay (U of Arkansas), Spencer Dowdall (U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Daniel Groves (U of Illinois at Chicago), Eriko Hironaka (Florida State U), Chris Leininger ((U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Johanna Mangahas (Brown U), Jason Manning (U at Buffalo), Ben McReynolds (Purdue U), Alexandra Pettet (U of British Columbia), Sam Taylor (U of Texas at Austin), and Alden Walker (U of Chicago). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers. The meeting will foster interactions and strengthen research ties among young mathematicians in the region.Conference website: http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/
