53rd Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference

阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）将于2019年3月14日至16日在阿拉巴马州伯明翰举办第53届春季拓扑与动力系统年度会议（STDC）。STDC是通用拓扑学中历史最悠久的定期会议之一，从1967年开始，一直是年度会议。它吸引了国内外的参与者。STDC定期吸引超过150名参与者，有时甚至超过200名。在拓扑学及其应用的大部分领域有7场全体会议和12场半全体会议。鼓励两个或两个以上研究领域的对话。在像美国这样的高科技社会，高水平的科学研究，特别是数学研究，对进一步发展至关重要。会议是发展成功和有竞争力的数学研究项目和培养年轻研究人员的重要组成部分。STDC在许多参与者的成功和教育方面发挥了至关重要的作用。会议将包括博士生、博士后和初级数学家的演讲，并将鼓励演讲者的多样性。在拓扑的子领域有六个特别的会议，包括拓扑和图论的一个新会议。更多信息和参加邀请可在会议网站上找到：http://www.uab.edu/cas/mathematics/mathnews/stdc第53届弹簧拓扑与动力系统会议将举办六个特别会议：连续统理论、动力系统、几何拓扑学、几何群论、集合论拓扑学、拓扑学与图论，这些课程将包括当代拓扑学研究的大多数主题，以及突出拓扑学与其他数学学科之间的联系。关于拓扑学和图论的会议是今年第一次被包括在内。玛丽·艾伦·鲁丁奖（Mary Ellen Rudin Award）的获奖者将在本次会议上宣布，并将被邀请在全体会议上发言。会议成功地加强了通常不相互作用的地区之间的主要联系。特别有效的是动力系统与连续统理论、几何拓扑与连续统理论、几何拓扑与几何群论、集合论拓扑与连续统理论之间的相互作用。这些领域和图论之间的互动受到特别邀请的演讲者的鼓励，他们可以在前一个领域和图论之间架起桥梁。STDC通过为学生、博士后和初级数学家提供旅行支持，鼓励特别会议组织者在他们邀请的特别会议上寻求多样性，并欢迎主动提交在特别会议上发言的材料，来鼓励这种互动。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，被认为值得支持。

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will host the 53rd Annual Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference (STDC), March 14-16, 2019 in Birmingham, Alabama. The STDC is one of the longest standing regular conferences in general topology, having started in 1967 and continuing as an annual conference. It attracts participants nationally and internationally. The STDC regularly attracts over 150 participants, and often over 200. There are 7 plenary talks and 12 semi-plenary talks in most areas of topology and its applications by established researchers. Talks bridging two or more research areas are encouraged. In a highly technological society like the USA, a high level science research, and in particular mathematics research, is crucial for further progress. Conferences are an essential part for developing successful and competitive research programs in mathematics and for the education of young researchers. The STDC has played an essential part in the success and education of many of its participants. The conference will include contributed talks by PhD students, post-doctoral students, as well as junior mathematicians, and will encourage diversity among speakers. There are six special sessions in subareas of topology including a new session in Topology and Graph Theory. More information and an invitation to participate may be found at the conference website: http://www.uab.edu/cas/mathematics/mathnews/stdc The 53rd Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference will run six special sessions: Continuum Theory, Dynamical Systems, Geometric Topology, Geometric Group Theory, SetTheoretic Topology, and Topology and Graph Theory that will include most topics of contemporary research in topology as well as highlighting connections between topology and other mathematical subjects. The session on Topology and Graph Theory is being included for the first time this year. The winner of the Mary Ellen Rudin Award for a beginning mathematician will be announced at this meeting, and will be invited to give a plenary address. The conference has succeeded in strengthening major connections between areas which normally do not interact. Particularly effective have been interactions between dynamical systems and continuum theory, between geometric topology and continuum theory, between geometric topology and geometric group theory, and between set theoretic topology and continuum theory. The interaction between these areas and graph theory is being encouraged by particularly inviting speakers who can bridge between the former areas and graph theory. The STDC encourages these interactions by providing travel support to students, post-docs, and junior mathematicians, by encouraging the special session organizers to seek diversity in those they invite to speak in a special session, and by welcoming unsolicited submissions for speaking in a special session.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.
