Young Topologists Meeting 2014, June 30 - July 4, 2014

该奖项支持2014年6月30日星期一至7月4日星期五在丹麦哥本哈根大学举行的青年拓扑学家会议（YTM）的美国参与者。这次国际会议将汇集代数和几何拓扑数学领域的初级研究人员，并为他们提供一个公开谈论他们的研究和了解他们未来同事的最新发展的机会。从更有经验的研究人员的角度来看，迷你课程将对该领域的两个重要学科进行更广泛的介绍。会议为建立网络、会见未来的研究同事和形成研究合作提供了机会。此前，YTM的参与者大多来自欧洲机构；该奖项的支持将通过允许美国的初级研究人员更多地参与来增加国际合作的机会。会议以及演讲者和参与者之间的多样化氛围也将鼓励来自代表性不足的群体的人们追求拓扑学的研究事业。YTM是一年一度的活动，在哥本哈根和瑞士洛桑轮流举行，主要由研究生和博士后组织。会议将主要包括由初级拓扑学家的演讲，以及由杰出的高级研究人员提供的两个迷你课程系列讲座。今年的系列讲座将由Jacob Lurie（美国哈佛大学）和Lars Hesselholt（日本名古屋大学和丹麦哥本哈根大学）主讲，他将通过代数拓扑讨论多摩川数，以及代数k理论中的迹方法。会议网页可访问：http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2014/ytm2014

This award supports US-based participants in the Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) 2014 held at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark from Monday, June 30th to Friday, July 4th, 2014. This international meeting will bring together junior researchers in the mathematical fields of algebraic and geometric topology, and provide an opportunity for them to speak publicly about their research and to learn about recent developments by their future colleagues. Mini-courses will give broader introductions to two important subjects in the field, as seen through the eyes of more experienced researchers. The conference provides opportunities for networking, for meeting future research colleagues, and for forming research collaborations. Previous instances of the YTM have had mostly participants based at European institutions; support from this award will enhance opportunities for international collaboration by allowing more significant participation of US-based junior researchers. The diverse atmosphere at the conference and among the speakers and participants will also encourage people from underrepresented groups to pursue research careers in topology.The YTM is an annual event, alternating between Copenhagen and Lausanne, Switzerland, organized mainly by graduate students and postdocs. The meeting will consist mainly of talks given by junior topologists, in addition to two mini-course lecture series given by distinguished senior researchers. The lecture series this year will be given by Jacob Lurie (Harvard University, US), who will speak about Tamagawa numbers via algebraic topology, and Lars Hesselholt (Nagoya University, Japan and University of Copenhagen, Denmark), who will speak about trace methods in algebraic K-theory.
