Temple University Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology

该奖项支持参加2015年5月16日至17日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的天普大学代数、几何和拓扑研究生会议。本次会议将有来自东海岸及其他地区的90多名研究生参加，他们有着不同的背景和研究水平。该会议为研究生提供了一个机会，通过在同龄人面前展示数学，在早期阶段发展他们的学术生涯。30名研究生将在全体会议上就广泛的主题和不同的研究兴趣进行演讲，会议还为研究生提供了学习数学研究领域的机会，这些领域在他们的家乡大学并不普遍。会议为年轻数学家提供了独特的机会来发起合作研究项目，并在他们的研究领域之间建立联系。本次会议的主要议题是代数、几何和拓扑的广义解释，重点是这些领域之间的相互作用，包括：结理论、几何群论、3流形上的几何结构、代数同伦理论、理性同伦理论、表示理论、微分几何、同调代数、代数拓扑、流形的量子不变量和双曲几何。会议将有30场研究生演讲，既有原创研究演讲，也有说明性演讲。它还将包括四位以其演讲技巧和研究工作而闻名的全体演讲者：Daniel Wise（麦吉尔大学）的几何群论，Chelsea Walton（麻省理工学院）的非交换代数，Jessica Purcell（杨百翰大学）的低维拓扑和结理论，以及Julie Bergner（加州大学河滩分校）的代数拓扑。网站：math.temple.edu/events/gscagt

This award supports participation in the Temple University Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology, taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 16-17, 2015. This conference will involve more than 90 graduate students from the East Coast and beyond, with a variety of backgrounds and research levels. The conference provides an opportunity for graduate students to develop their academic careers at an early stage by presenting mathematics in front of their peers. With thirty graduate student talks on a wide range of topics and a diversity of research interests among the plenary speakers, the conference also provides opportunities for graduate students to learn about areas of mathematical research that are not prevalent at their home universities. The conference provides unique opportunities for young mathematicians to initiate collaborative research projects and to make connections between their fields of study.The main topics of this conference are algebra, geometry, and topology broadly construed, with emphasis on interactions between these areas, including: knot theory, geometric group theory, geometric structures on 3-manifolds, algebraic homotopy theory, rational homotopy theory, representation theory, differential geometry, homological algebra, algebraic topology, quantum invariants of manifolds, and hyperbolic geometry. The conference will feature thirty talks by graduate students, both original research talks and expository presentations. It will also include four plenary speakers renowned for both their presentation skills and research work: Daniel Wise (McGill University) in geometric group theory, Chelsea Walton (MIT) in noncommutative algebra, Jessica Purcell (Brigham Young University) in low-dimensional topology and knot theory, and Julie Bergner (University of California Riverside) in algebraic topology.Web site: math.temple.edu/events/gscagt
