55th Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference

第55届春季拓扑与动力学会议（STDC）将于2022年3月9日至3月12日在德克萨斯州韦科的贝勒大学校园举办。在这个系列会议的历史上，STDC将首次向现场和远程参与者开放。通过允许现场和远程参与，第55届STDC将能够汇集广泛和多样化的数学家群体，以传播研究并为未来的合作建立联系。组织者预计将有100多名来自美国和国外的现场参与者，以及100多名远程参与者。STDC的一个关键部分是其所有职业阶段的研究人员的参与-研究生和早期职业研究人员以及成熟的研究人员-允许年轻一代的数学家找到导师并建立他们的研究轨迹。此外，STDC在招募组织者和演讲者时有意识地努力促进数学的多样性，重点是确保妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的代表性。第55届STDC是围绕五个特别会议，每个会议都侧重于拓扑的一个方面-连续统理论，动力系统，几何群论，几何拓扑和集合论拓扑。这些特别会议的邀请和贡献演讲以及相关的全体会议和半全体会议发言人提供了一个机会，可以宣布和讨论过去一年中拓扑各个子领域中最重要的进展。此外，STDC为年度Mary Ellen Rudin青年研究员奖获得者保留了一次全体会议发言，该奖项颁发给在该领域有杰出贡献的早期拓扑学家。今年，STDC还将举办一个关于线性动力学的研讨会，这是一个相对年轻的动力学分支领域，针对研究生和早期职业数学家，以及一系列开放问题，合作和指导会议。这些讲座和活动为在数学研究中建立新的合作努力和鼓励研究生和早期职业研究人员的充分参与提供了一个很好的框架。该项目将在没有外部支持的情况下支持受邀演讲者、研究生和研究人员的旅行。更多的信息可以在会议的网页上找到，该网页位于https://sites.baylor.edu/topology-conference/.This。奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，认为值得支持。

The 55th Spring Topology and Dynamics Conference (STDC) will be hosted by Baylor University on its campus in Waco, Texas, from March 9th through March 12th, 2022. For the first time in the history of this conference series, the STDC will be open to both in-person and remote participants. By allowing for both in person and remote participation, the 55th STDC will be able to bring together a broad and diverse group of mathematicians to disseminate research and establish connections for future collaboration. The organizers expect to host more than 100 participants from the United States and from abroad on-site, as well as more than 100 remote participants. A crucial part of the STDC is its involvement of researchers at all career stages—graduate students and early career researchers as well as established researchers—allowing for younger generations of mathematicians to find mentors and to establish their research trajectories. In addition, the STDC makes a conscious effort to promote diversity in mathematics in its recruitment of organizers and speakers, with a focus on ensuring representation of women and underrepresented minority groups. The 55th STDC is structured around five special sessions, each with a focus on one aspect of topology—continuum theory, dynamical systems, geometric group theory, geometric topology, and set-theoretic topology. The invited and contributed talks of these special sessions and their associated plenary and semi-plenary speakers provide an opportunity for the announcement and discussion of the most significant advances in the various subfields of topology over the last year. In addition, the STDC reserves a plenary address for the winner of the annual Mary Ellen Rudin Young Researcher award, which is given to an early-career topologist with outstanding contributions to the field. This year, the STDC will also host a workshop on Linear Dynamics, a relatively young subfield of dynamics, aimed at graduate students and early-career mathematicians, as well as a series of open problem, collaboration, and mentoring sessions. These talks and activities provide an excellent framework for the establishment of new collaborative efforts in mathematical research and for encouraging full participation of graduate students and early career researchers. The project will support the travel of invited speakers, graduate students, and researchers without external support.
