Texas Geometry and Topology Conference

德克萨斯州几何和拓扑会议的2018年秋季会议将于2018年11月9日至11日在莱斯大学举行。迄今为止，德克萨斯州几何和拓扑会议自1989年成立以来已举行了春季和秋季，共58次。该会议已成为西南地区一个非常成功的半年一次的活动。接下来的一系列会议将有七所主要的主办大学：莱斯大学，德克萨斯A M大学，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，休斯顿大学，德克萨斯理工大学，以及（联合）德克萨斯基督教大学和德克萨斯大学阿灵顿。通过设计，德克萨斯几何和拓扑会议有两个高影响力的焦点。&首先，会议使得克萨斯州和周边国家（一个巨大的地理区域）的几何学家和拓扑学家社区有可能定期见面和分享数学。在这样做的过程中，会议致力于使国家和国际地位的研究人员讨论他们的研究，并为区域学者和早期职业研究人员提供一个场所。这刺激了个人研究，并在学校之间产生了富有成效的合作努力。第二，会议致力于加强和丰富数学人才基础。为了使与会者没有障碍，会议广做广告，开放参加，不收登记费。特别鼓励研究生、初级教师、妇女、少数民族和残疾人参与并申请支持。此外，会议是与两个历史上的黑人大学（费耶特维尔州立大学和草原视图A M大学）的一个项目，以促进在这些机构选择初级教师的研究机会合作。为得克萨斯州几何和拓扑会议的永久网页：www.example.com奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。&

The Fall 2018 meeting of the Texas Geometry and Topology Conference will be at Rice University on November 9-11, 2018. To date the Texas Geometry and Topology Conference has been held spring and fall since its founding in 1989, a total of 58 times. The conference has become an extremely successful semiannual event in the Southwest. The next series of conferences will have seven primary host universities: Rice University, Texas A&M University, The University of Texas at Austin, University of Houston, Texas Tech University, and (jointly) Texas Christian University and The University of Texas at Arlington.By design, the Texas Geometry and Topology Conference has two high-impact foci. First, the conference makes it possible for the community of geometers and topologists from Texas and surrounding states (a huge geographic region) to meet and share mathematics on a regular basis. In so doing, the conference is committed to bring researchers of national and international stature to discuss their research as well as offering a venue for regional scholars and early career researchers. This stimulates individual research and generates productive cooperative efforts between schools. Second, the conference is committed to the strengthening and enrichment of the mathematics personnel base. In order that there be no barrier to participation, the conference is widely advertised, participation is open, and there are no registration fees. Graduate students, junior faculty, women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged to participate and to apply for support. Furthermore the conference is partnering with two historically black universities (Fayetteville State University and Prairie View A&M University) on a project to foster research opportunities for select junior faculty at these institutions.The permanent web page for the Texas Geometry and Topology Conference: http://www.math.tamu.edu/~tgtc/archive/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
