52nd Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference

该国家科学基金会奖为将于2018年3月14日至17日在奥本大学举行的第52届春季拓扑与动力系统会议（STDC）提供部分支持。这是奥本大学于1967年在亚利桑那街举办的第五次成功会议系列的最新一期，将邀请一些与拓扑相关领域的世界领先专家进行演讲，包括令人兴奋的新应用。会议汇集了来自广泛主题的研究人员进行互动和分享想法。该会议涉及所有职业阶段的研究人员，并以一种应该吸引新研究人员的方式，对令人兴奋的、正在发展的拓扑领域进行扩展研讨会。此外，还将有特别会议，演讲者是知名专家，研究生和年轻研究人员。特别努力使妇女和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员参与进来。为了进一步传播会议上讨论的发现，长期运行的同行评审期刊《拓扑学论文集》将出版一卷专门介绍会议的内容。Spring拓扑与动力学会议（STDC）是一年一度的会议，通常会吸引150到200名参与者。今年的特别会议将讨论代数拓扑、连续统理论、动力系统、几何群论、几何拓扑和集合论拓扑，其中一场特邀演讲将重点讨论拓扑在数据科学中的应用。因此，会议为具有各种兴趣的研究人员提供了一个平台，以建立新的联系并发现拓扑学的新应用。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。有关会议的更多信息可在http://www.auburn.edu/~kuperkm/STDC2018/This网站上找到。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This National Science Foundation award provides partial support for the 52nd Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference (STDC) to be held at Auburn University, in Auburn, AL, March 14-17, 2018. This latest installment of a successful conference series hosted for the fifth time by Auburn began in 1967 at Arizona St and will feature invited talks from some of the world leading experts in fields related to topology, including exciting new applications. The conference brings together researchers from a wide array of topics to interact and share ideas. The conference involves researchers at all career stages and features extended workshops on exciting, developing areas of Topology in a way that should bring in new researchers. Additionally, there will be Special Sessions with speakers who are renowned experts together with graduate students and young researchers. A special effort is made to involve women and researchers from underrepresented groups. To further disseminate the findings discussed at the conference, the long running, peer-reviewed journal Topology Proceedings will publish a volume dedicated to the conference. The Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference (STDC) is an annual conference that typically attracts between 150 and 200 participants. The Special Sessions this year will be on Algebraic Topology, Continuum Theory, Dynamical Systems, Geometric Group Theory, Geometric Topology and Set-Theoretic Topology, and one of the invited talks will focus on the application of topology to data science. As such, the conference provides a platform for researchers with a variety of interests to forge new links and to find new applications of topology. The grant provides funds to support travel for invited speakers, graduate students and researchers without external support. More information about the conference can be found on the web site http://www.auburn.edu/~kuperkm/STDC2018/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.
