31st Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications

该奖项支持美国研究生，早期职业研究人员和研讨会领导人参加第31届夏季拓扑会议拓扑及其应用，将于2016年8月2日至5日在莱斯特大学举行。这个会议系列起源于纽约市，专门致力于推进拓扑方法的发展，并将其应用于包括计算机科学、分析和代数在内的广泛领域。它保持了对开发新应用领域的包容态度的传统。 今年特别关注的是代数拓扑以及与衍射有关的新的数学概念，用于模拟物质分布的点模式。会议的目标是介绍拓扑学及其方法的几个领域的最新发展，并促进它们之间的合作和桥梁。会议的范围包括代数拓扑学，连续统理论和动力系统，拓扑学和基础的特别会议，以及计算机科学和分析应用的会议。代数拓扑学的课程将以新开发的分类方法为特色。连续统理论和动力系统的会议将突出最近的结果在双曲三维流形和非周期流动的三维流形。会议网址为https://sites.google.com/site/summertopology/home

This award supports the participation of US based graduate students, early career researchers and workshop leaders at the 31st Summer Topology Conference on Topology and its Applications, which will be held August 2-5, 2016 at the University of Leicester. This conference series originated in New York City and specializes in advancing the development of topological methods and applications to a broad range of areas including computer science, analysis, and algebra. It maintains a tradition of an inclusive attitude towards developing new application areas. Special focus this year is on algebraic topology as well as new mathematical notions of spectrum in connection with diffraction for point-patterns modelling distributions of matter. The goal of the conference is to present the latest developments in several areas of topology and its methods, and to foster collaborations and bridges between them. The scope of the conference includes special sessions in Algebraic Topology, Continuum Theory and Dynamical Systems, Topology and Foundations, as well as sessions featuring applications to Computer Science and Analysis. The session in Algebraic Topology will feature newly developed categorical methods. The session on Continuum Theory and Dynamical Systems will highlight recent results in hyperbolic 3-manifolds and aperiodic flows on 3-manifolds.
