The 2018 Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference

第16届年度研究生拓扑与几何会议将于2018年4月7日至8日在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校举行。它是专门针对研究生的，许多演讲将由学生参与者提供。会议将代表大量处于博士学位不同阶段的学生，并将为来自不同机构和地理区域的学生提供一个聚会和互动的场所。它旨在创造一个高度协作的环境，以刺激研究，并在研究人员职业生涯早期的关键时刻培养他们之间的持久联系。会议还将为学生提供一个场所，让他们从既定的高级领导人和早期职业教师那里了解前沿研究。这次会议的主要目标是让研究生有机会展示他们的研究。特别注意将支付，以确保广泛收集的主题代表，使新一代的数学家都知道当前的几何和拓扑学前沿。为此，还将举行由杰出的全体发言人伊恩·阿戈尔（Ian Agol）（加州大学伯克利分校），Natasa Sesum（罗格斯大学）和Shmuel Weinberger（芝加哥大学），和早期职业教师发言人贾斯汀咖喱（纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校）（加州大学，圣巴巴拉），安德鲁桑德斯（海德堡大学），Jenya Sapir（宾厄姆顿大学）和Caglar Uyanik（范德比尔特大学）。这些演讲将涵盖拓扑和几何的一系列主题，包括拓扑数据分析，同伦理论，低维拓扑，几何群论，几何分析，几何拓扑和动力学。这些讲座为早期职业研究人员提供了与所在大学以外的专家亲自接触的机会，扩大和巩固了数学科学家的网络。会议网址：https://www.math.uic.edu/gstgc2018/

The 16th annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is to be held at The University of Illinois at Chicago on April 7-8, 2018. It is specifically aimed at graduate students, and many of the talks will be delivered by student participants. The conference will represent a large body of students in different stages of their Ph.D., and will provide a venue for students from a diverse collection of institutions and geographic regions to come together and interact. It aims to create a highly collaborative environment that will stimulate research and foster lasting connections between researchers at particularly crucial moments early in their careers. The conference will also provide a venue for students to hear about cutting edge research from established senior leaders and early career faculty.The principal goal for this conference is to give graduate students the opportunity to present their research. Particular attention will be paid to ensure that a broad collection of topics are represented, so that rising generations of mathematicians are aware of the current frontiers of geometry and topology. To this end, there will also be talks by distinguished plenary speakers Ian Agol (University of California, Berkeley), Natasa Sesum (Rutgers University), and Shmuel Weinberger (University of Chicago), and early career faculty speakers Justin Curry (University at Albany, SUNY), Priyam Patel (University of California, Santa Barbara), Andrew Sanders (Heidelberg University), Jenya Sapir (Binghamton University), and Caglar Uyanik (Vanderbilt University). These presentations will cover a range of topics in topology and geometry including topological data analysis, homotopy theory, low dimensional topology, geometric group theory, geometric analysis, geometric topology, and dynamics. The talks provide opportunities for early career researchers to personally engage with experts outside of their home university, expanding and consolidating the network of mathematical scientists.
