The Cornell Topology Conference

该奖项支持参加在康奈尔大学举行的一系列年度会议中的三个会议，下一次会议将于2015年5月8日至10日召开。会议系列主题领域是代数、微分、几何拓扑和相关主题。该系列会议为广泛的研究成果的发展和传播提供了一个重要的舞台，自1963年以来一直是美国东北部及其他地区拓扑学家和几何学者数学生活中的一股力量。它具有广泛的，跨学科的风格和合作友好的格式。会议以介绍性的一天开始，目标是研究生和非专业人士。通过传播课堂讲稿和小组讨论摘要，扩大了培训效果。每年大约邀请10位演讲者，他们来自拓扑及其周围的各个主题领域。每年都会选择一个重点领域，从中抽取大约三分之一的发言者；这允许更深入地关注正在经历快速变化的领域，并响应拓扑向专业化和跨学科活动的趋势。对于2015年的会议，重点领域将是“作用于负弯曲空间的群体”。系列会议的更广泛影响包括：(a)训练更广泛的拓扑学家社区，能够超越亚专业的界限；(b)更多样化的数学人才队伍；(c)更迅速地将年轻拓扑学家纳入当前的研究领域；(d)加强不同拓扑学领域研究人员之间的合作。该系列会议的网站是http://www.math.cornell.edu/~festival/。

This award supports participation in three meetings in a series of annual conferences held at Cornell University and next convening May 8-10, 2015. The conference series subject area is algebraic, differential, and geometric topology and allied subjects. The conference series provides a significant arena for the development and dissemination of a wide array of research results and has been a force in the mathematical life of topologists and geometers in the northeastern United States and beyond since 1963. It has a broad, interdisciplinary flavor and collaboration-friendly format. The meetings begin with an introductory day aimed at graduate students and non-specialists. The training effects are extended by dissemination of lecture notes and summaries of panel discussions.Approximately ten speakers are invited each year, from a variety of subject areas in and around topology. Each year an area of emphasis is chosen from which about a third of the speakers are drawn; this allows deeper focus on fields undergoing rapid change and is responsive to the trends in topology toward specialization and cross-disciplinary activity. For the 2015 meeting, the area of emphasis will be "groups acting on negatively curved spaces." The broader impacts of the conference series include (a) a more broadly-trained community of topologists, able to transcend the boundaries of sub-specialties; (b) a more diverse mathematical workforce; (c) a more rapid integration of younger topologists into areas of current research; and (d) the enhancement of collaboration among researchers in different areas of topology.
