50th Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference

第五十届春季拓扑与动力系统会议将于2016年3月10日至13日在贝勒大学举行。这个系列的第一次会议于1967年在亚利桑那州立大学举行。组织者预计这次会议将吸引来自美国和国外的150至200名与会者。会议的范围涵盖了集合论拓扑和连续统理论等经典领域，以及动力系统、几何拓扑和几何群论等领域。春季拓扑会议汇集了来自多个拓扑领域的研究人员。有五个平行会议分别代表集合论拓扑、连续统理论、动力系统、几何拓扑和几何群论。大会有6次全体会议和12次半全体会议。这些会谈有助于突出本年度该领域的重大进展。每年的一次全体会议是为玛丽·艾伦·鲁丁青年研究员奖的获得者保留的，该奖项授予有前途的初级拓扑学家。今年的会议还将在会议开始的前一天，即3月9日举行为期一天的研讨会，针对研究生和初级研究人员。春季拓扑与动力系统会议寻求研究生、年轻研究人员、妇女和代表性不足群体的积极参与。该补助金为受邀演讲者、研究生和没有外部支持的研究人员提供旅费。会议的网址是：http://sites.baylor.edu/topology-conference/。

The Fiftieth Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference will be held at Baylor University from March 10-13, 2016. The first meeting in this series was held at Arizona State University in 1967. The organizers expect the conference to attract between 150 and 200 participants from the United States and abroad. The scope of the conference encompasses both classical fields like set-theoretic topology and continuum theory, and also the fields of dynamical systems, geometric topology and geometric group theory.The Spring Topology Conference brings together researchers from several areas of topology. There are five parallel sessions representing set-theoretic topology, continuum theory, dynamical systems, geometric topology and geometric group theory. The conference has six plenary and twelve semi-plenary talks. These talks serve to highlight the major advances in the field for the year. Each year one of the plenary talks is reserved for the winner of the Mary Ellen Rudin Young Researcher Award, which is given to a promising junior topologist. This year's meeting will also feature one-day workshops on March 9, the day before the conference begins, aimed at graduate students and junior researchers. The Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference seeks the active participation of graduate students, young researchers, women and under-represented groups. The grant provides funds to support travel for invited speakers, graduate students and researchers without external support.
